Every day for several months I bet, I soaked the pins with penetrating oil, once and a while beating on the bottom to free it up. No progress... Much heat applied throughout this process, very little progress. Eventually with enough soaking and beating it moved a teeny bit up (by this point the bin was fairly mushroomed. With more persistence and time I managed to get it up an inch or so, but it got even more stuck there. Keep in mind, that you'll want to remove the pin out the bottom, as I don't believe it quite fits out the top. Soak, pound, soak, pound and on it went. What finally did it was lots and soaking,and my hammer drill (heavy duty) set on hammer only, with a flat chisel blade working from the top back down through the bore. Needless to say that the pin was demolished but this way I eventually got it!! That was a good day... I then cleaned out the bore/cylinder with wet/dry sandpaper on my drill (my brake cylinder hone was too big), and I now have easy access to my forks and attachments... As easy as that. Good Luck.</p></blockquote><p></p>
