I have finally given up on my '74 Scamp power steering box and I plan to remove it this weekend. Is the coupling pin tappered? I tried to reove it once before and could not bugde it so I gave up. Now I'm determined. Any hints on getting it out would be appreciated.

Thanks.

After three decades in place, those pins can really be stubborn. It's not tapered; it's just a standard split roll pin that can be driven out with a properly-sized punch and a BFHammer. Applying Kroil or Coca-Cola can help.

For stuck, rusty parts, I have found PB Blaster to be best thing on the planet. Soak it in it for a while and it should make things go much smoother.

Well I got 'er done. Soaked it with WD40 overnight and she came right out. Got the whole gear reamoved and replaced in less than 3 hours. And flushed and all new fluid. Works great so far. I was having some very strange power steering problems but they seem to be gone.

Thanks all.

The Eastwood Company sells it mail order or on their website.

just search for Kroil - they have an aerosol and a larger size (half gallon?)

We have used Kroil and PB Blaster here at work. They are both exceptional products. :shock:
