Is there some amazing way I can get the roll pin into the pedal clusetr? I have tried sticking it in the freezer for a few days but no joy or do I need a bigger (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smash.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smash.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smash.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smash.gif)

I'd like to ask why you can't replace the roll pin with a high grade metric bolt with the unthreaded shank running nearly the whole required length?

On Honda's, the shift linkage is attached at the transmission with a roll pin. It's commonly refered to as the "bitch pin" by anybody that has to deal with it.
Here is a write-up that I did showing how to do it without getting out the BFH: "removing a bitch pin" It may give you some ideas. Andys; One of the ideas behind roll pins is that they are in tight contact on the sides. This prevents any movement between the two items. If you used a bolt and the sides were not tight, you would have to tighten the nut to the point that you crush the outer piece tight against the inner piece. Of course this requires that both items have pretty much the same inside diameter. I doubt it makes any difference on a brake pedal assembly!! I'd also guess that P uses a roll pin in this location due to cost for parts and labor time being less. Wes |
