Hi, I guess this is the only forum that applies to metal, so posting here. :wink2:
I am trying to remove a tension pin that is completely stuck. Tried everything, tapping (broke my nail set), drilling just elongates the hole and doesn't cut through the pin.
Any ideas on how to get this stubborn thing out without further damage?
To make things more difficult, the center shaft with the pin is spring loaded and wants to retract into the sleeve. For the photo it's being held in a vise.
Thanks for any help
