[QUOTE="Jyuma, post: 47183, member: 4393"] Looks like I'll need to cut the other two pins out. I pounded until the puller broke and all I got for it was the bushing in the tip of the dipper stick moved about 1/4” before hitting the far side bushing in the bucket and then stopping cold. [IMG]https://www.skidsteerforum.com/DesktopModules/AdverForums/ImageGallery/emotion-6.gif[/IMG] The pin is frozen solid inside the bushing that traverses through the end of the dipper. I can't get the pin to move and the bushing it is frozen to is captive between the bucket bushings. I'm guessing that once I cut the pin (both ends between the dipper and the bucket) I'll be able to knock the bushing all the way out... with the pin frozen inside... and then use a wedge to open the bushing slightly (at the split) and remove what remains of the pin. It looks like the pin remnants remaining in the bucket bushing will move fairly easily so I should have no trouble pounding them out. What diameter bar stock should I buy to make new pins? I put a vernier on the pins and they measure between 1.100 and 1.115. My question is... 1 1/8” bar stock is 1.125 which will not make it through the bushings very well. Does 1 1/8” bar stock actually measure less that 1.125 and can I expect the bar stock to be .010 to .020 undersized? [/QUOTE]
