    Opti 3.0 steering swivel pin removal!

    Hi everyone,
    Removing steering swivel pin and it looked easier than what it is!!! LoL

    It’s coming out by hitting from the bottom with wood and a hammer. But when its flush with bracket I’ll have to use a different technique.

    Anyone have tips or ideas to do this!?

    Turn it upside down and use some Kroil Oil to give it a good soak. A pipe the same dia. should pop right out once the crusty's have loosened up.

    I use a wedge on top to pull. Make sure you haven't booged the bottom........so it don't get stuck.
