  View original topic: what is the trick of getting the dist drive dog pin back in?

I oiled it and tried it from both directions and it still won't go it. It was in there before and difficult to get out . There is a dark ring on one end so I assume that was the end that came out first. I get it so 1/4" sticks out can't get it in any farther. There is a small ridge on it perhaps I should polish it a bit . I had it on a block of hardwood so not to damage the dog . I even tried it is a vice with pads and still it stops shot .

Any ideas from those who have done this?

I use a vice to press the pin in most of the way. When the end is flush I lock the drive tang in the vice and use a suitable punch and a 3-lb hammer to drive it in the rest of the way.
