Re: tilt steering pin

I fabricated a machine screw into my slide hammer to pull the pin. I also made a real simple one at work with a machine screw and an old pair of vise grips. I welded a rod onto the vise grips and use a large wrist pin as the slide. A nut and washer at the end of the rod keeps the wrist pin from coming off. The vise grips simple grab the machine screw.

I can't remember the actual size of the machine screw. 8-32 or 10-32. I normally go through a few of them pulling the pin since the vise grip version doesn't pull straight and I usually bend the machine screw.
