[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Ejector Pin Catastrophe

Posted: 5/10/2013 8:15:36 PM EDT

So I'm in need of some help.

While I was removing the ejector retainer pin from my bolt my punch snapped off as the roll pin was driving out. Now I'm stuck with the piece of punch lodged in one side and the roll pin sticking out the other. Any help?

grab the roll pin with some pliers and pull it the rest on the way out. then if the punch is still in there it should come out when you put the roll pin back in or if you want to after you pull the roll pin out drive the broken piece of the punch out with a standard (non roll pin) punch.

As stated grip whichever you can then punch the other side through that side once its removed. If it won't move, heat time or drill time.

managed to work it out. I ordered a new and hopefully higher quality punch and roll pin punch while I wait for a new ejector roll pin.

Out of curiousity why were you removing the ejector?
