[QUOTE="mmsllc, post: 93649, member: 13117"] Depending on which pin it is, you can remove the rest of the boom, then lay the boom down. You can weld a small bracket to it the boom (but not the thin metal sides of the boom) will hold a bottle jack in place. Below the bottle jack, add a thick section of round stock steel. The idea is that you will have a "press" that is able to exert a massive amount of pressure to that pin. As the pin starts to move, use longer pieces of round stock to press it further & further out of the bore. Use some heat on the sides of the bore (not the pin) & start cranking down on it. It will not be a fast process, but should be a cheap option, without damaging anything else. It really is what I would do to get it out. If I knew how to add pictures here, I would share a few with you. [/QUOTE]
