REMOVING ROLL PIN FROMTANG DRIVE DISTRIBUTOR:
To avoid damage when driving out the roll pin, support the body of the tang drive in a "V" block (See illustration). A tall or steep "V" block will provide underneath clearance for the roll pin to be driven out. Carefully file off any burrs around the shaft hole before removing the shaft to avoid damage to the bushing.
NOTICE: If only the two tangs on the tang drive are supported when driving the roll pin from the shaft, the two tangs may be broken off the drive. Also, support the body of the tang drive (not the two tangs) when driving in the roll pin.
