Coupler pin removal

Don't bother with the shoe pin. I hammered on it and it didn't budge. I even tried a air hammer. No dice. Like I said before, I just pulled the column and pulled the steering shaft out the bottom. I replaced the seal and re assembled. I also greased the bearings while the shaft was out. Perfect!

The only problem with that is I'm using this style coupler I'm doing a power to manual conversion so I have to take the shaft out some to make it longer but that pin has to come out to put on the new coupler.
