I have a roll pin (spring pin) broken off in a shaft...flush on one side, and fourth of the way in the shaft on the other.
I've broken two punches....tried heat....tried the drill (are roll pins hard, or did I just have a bad bit)..anyway, nothing has moved.
Ideas

It has been my experience spring pins are hard. What about torching it out. Since it is thinner than the outside pin that it is in I have gotten them extremely hot and melted them out at times. Maybe that is what you meant by heat. Is it the type that is split all the way down or one that is rolled up like a paper towel? I have had success melting the split ones. How big of a pin? Is your punch just smaller than the hole that it is in? What about some Hagens Brew and a little time.

Probably tried driving it both ways already too! Maybe a little jungle juice overnight?

Your punches were probably too small and went inside of it instead of hitting it on the end. Try to find the right size punch then heat it red hot and hit it again. Is the broken end of the punch still inside of it? If it is it has probably swelled and you may never be able to drive it out. Good drill bit will be your best bet.......imho.

A lot of heat if you can and a BFH---with the right punch. If you don't get it, call me and I'll come up and say SOB and damn a lot for you.
Or you might give Matt Scruggs a call---he's pretty good at about everything.

I'll wait until they think Regan is the same as both of us first----but then MoJeeper will probably think it's the three stooges instead!

Did you ever get it out? If you did what did you end up doing?

Yep...Finally took the shaft off and got it in the drill press.
Tried several times to drill it with a hand drill with no luck, but in the press it wasn't bad.
