Has anyone tried removing the pin with a nail punchset or other tool? How easy are the pins to remove?

Easy enough with a punch and hammer. I removed the pins on all of the hinges to oil and make sure they weren't seized.

Simple back off on the depth and remove a set screw then just push the pin out..

Yes. The trick is to not push the pin completely out of the other side-leave a tiny bit protruding through the flat piece and that helps line it all up.

If you are using the appropriate punch there should be no problem. The Mallet has a solid face and a softer solid side. It's not super sized it should take out the pins with no problem.

I just took a dremel and sawed it in half. If you want to go back you can find the original pins for about $5

Mine came with all the pins already pushed in, had to pull them out for it to work. Hope that helps.

It's been so long I forgot about the spring pin that needs to be disengaged before you can slide the grips off. There are several videos on utube that should help you. As someone else stated it did come with a tool but a credit card or any thin piece of plastic should work.

Hi, I dismantled it using a screw driver to pop the little pin heads in, and then to pop them back out. Annoying but I did it to take it apart and put it together again.

Actually it's pretty easy. All you have to do is unscrew either the tip, or the part that's above the clip. I recommend just unscrewing the tip because it's easier.

Would like to know as well. I lost pin for cutter first time using it during cleanup

It's super easy. You just remove the hooks that wrap around the bars and pull out the pins. It takes less than a minute. You will need to lean your bike up against a wall or something when you do that because you can't hold the bike up and remove the pins simultaneously.

Hi Kristine,I inserted the pin through the front of the crystal and through the hole in the metal ring and bent it down (just like a hook).Hope that helps!

Yes, it was really easy. I have one pair that I removed two links from. All you need is a thin flat head screw driver and a pair of pliers to remove the small pin, cut off two end links and then replace the small pin. They work great!

I have no problem with mine. How old is yours? Did you make sure you didn't break the pin ?

You use the corresponding size punch for the size pin you want to remove. A roll pin is a hollow pin with a split down the side....it works the same as a solid pin, but it isn't quite as strong and "adjusts" for a tight fit due to the split.

Mine was easy to remove. Gentle twist of loud them lift by inserting fingernail and gently Lift up

Removal is not a problem. Take something sharp, lift one corner of it until you can grasp it with your fingers, and simply pull it off. It comes off quite easily. Best Regards, Rich
