Chuck, I'm not trying to be a smart ass, but could you have been pushing

This is real crucial to me repairing my Ross drive.

Chuck, did you try to drill out the pin? Or at least drill a hole down through
it and then try to press it out?

Did you first grind off the "lip" from the sun gear securing the pin?

If I can't get the pin out and press off the old sun gear I'll have a real
mess on my hands. According to Tracy, Ross ground off the old sun gear when he
replaced the sun gear on Tracy's Ross drive.

No you won't. Get a new gear and shaft.
