ri702bill 8,320 #2 Posted July 31 I agree with Pete on the bracing to allow for a solid hit with a 3 LB Hammer. DO buy a decent set of Roll Pin Punches, not some "soft" look-alike made of inferior (Chinesuim) material... 3 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

When I bent that almost immediately, I went right back on the fleeebay and ordered a vintage USA 🇺🇸 made set. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sounds like that would be a 7/32 punch for a C-160 steering wheel roll pin. Correct me if I am wrong. Thanks. Edited August 7 by Sailman Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sailman 1,291 #13 Posted August 7 (edited) Looks like this would be a good solution instead of fabricating socket / pin punch? https://www.amazon.com/Mayhew-Tools-31950HT-Pneumatic-Punch/dp/B07K7B4NZC?th=1 I do want the roll pin punch and NOT the drift pin punch correct? 1/4 inch good to go? One of the wheels is off a C-160 other is my C-120. I assume they are the same? Its made in USA so should be good steel. Edited August 7 by Sailman 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I removed a wheel from a 1974 C160 and a 1984 GT1100 with the same 1/4" roll pin punch. The pins I ordered are 1/4" diameter. Seems good. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
