I've tried everything!!! I've heated it with a torch TWICE and it did nothing! I've had it soaked multiple times all day long in pb blaster. I've pulled with locking pliars so much and it hasn't budged. I've tried using a screw extractor on it. Nothing. It's as if it's literally welded into the engine case.
Id try heating up the case around it with a propane torch then vice gripping the pin and spinning it, left to right to work it out
The Shop
Is the pin supposed to come out?
Bel Ray assembly lube has a high concentration of moylbdenum disulfide and works well on an application like this. Apply to both the dowel, and the inside of the hole. Better yet- mix just a bit of waterproof grease with the Bel Ray assembly lube and it will help resist drying out.
Been doing this for decades and have not had a stuck dowel in ....... decades.
PS- this also works well on swingarm bearings and linkage bearings.
