I was about to clean and rebuilt my buggy for this weekends swiss-champ race. i had to replace the centershaftpins with the original hudy tool for this, but they hold to strong in the shaft, only moved a little. cant get them out. [hit the pin-tool with the hammer that much, that the tool (pin of toolpart C) destroyed :oops:

]
are they manufactured different then the ones of the XB8? because i never had any problems before doing this at my XB8's shafts.

regards, mike

sorry for my bad english :wink:

when i say heat i mean gas flame till the shaft just turns lightly red .if you have never used this method before i suggest you be carefull or get someone to do it for you.......its known in ireland as the red spanner treatment
