Hi Router

Many use a roll pin,,some use a small drive pin, take a Small drill bit or wire and see if you can push it in the hole, if it goes in it's roll in, you will need a small drive punch to drive it out,it must be the right size ( the same as the OD of the roll pin) the norm is about 1/8" (metric suff) BUT IT MUST BE THE RIGHT SIZE ,you don't want to stake it in place..if you don't have the right size use a old drill pit backwards, but with care the drill bit is hard and will break easy..the best way to use the dill bit way is to drill a hole with the drill bit in some scrap stock about 1 1/4 long this will give you a handle and a safe guard if the bit breaks...if you have a grinder ,grind the back end of the drill bit flat,you don't want to go inside of the roll pin..

Then just TAP it out, just a bit but not all the way,so you have about 1/8" of the pin in the hole, then remove the rod and repair the rod..use thin washer to get them the same,,,it can be gasket stock,sheet metal, what ever you have around..gasket punchs work well to make the hole in the shim stock.


By the way the snapshot of the parts break down you posted is not the same one as I posted... did you look at that one ?
