Hi Paul,

Awhile ago you were working on the Ford planet carrier and were removing
the cross pins that hold the planet-gear axle dowels in place. I
remember frustration was the order of the day. When you finally removed
them was there a method that worked best?  ; )    Thanx,  Dave

They are staked in there. You might try taking them to a shop
with EDM Electro Discharge Machining. They can drill them
out so to speak with out hurting the planet carrier or the
pinion shafts.

What ever you are doing sounds interesting. Designing a new
gear box perhaps? We need a better, lower weight design based
on the cheap Ford parts.
