Topic: How would I knock out a tightly bound pin for replacing a man?

[willisfoster]

What would be the solution to getting a pin out that is tightly bound to the rod? I've got all the materials for replacing a man, but it seems that the manufacturer has made the pin super tight, which means that striking it with even a regular hammer does not budge it. What would the solution be here?

Hello, I'm waiting for any support. Thanks in advance.

It is most likely the pin is broken and holes in man are not aligned perfectly with holes in rod. 
 Have you tried knocking pin out from both sides? 
Are you using correct size punch?
Is punch not staying aligned with pin as you strike with hammer?

Ok even though by now you've conquered
the stubborn "pin stuck and won't come out challenge" this is for the next time and
for everyone else that's tiered of the block
and hammer method of beating em out.
Go to harbor freight or a similar type store
purchase a heavy duty universal "chain breaker" for a motorcycle cost between $10/20 and I can promise like me you'll never again hammer out a pin to change out a foosman or handle !
