The pin snapped off, I have the broken end. The break looks like it's a casting but the OD surface looks like it's cold rolled. Is it pressed into the support, or maybe brazed in? Can I remove it to repair or replace? I really don't want to use the torch that close to the gas tank. I was going to take the whole support off. I got the pedal shaft out and all the linkages loose. When I lifted the dash I found the steering lines go through the top of the support casting. So, several questions:
1. Can the stub of the pin be pulled out? I'm thinking of putting a tapped hole through it to pull it out. That's a no-go if it's brazed in.
2. If I take the tank off can I hoist the entire dash and steering off as a unit to remove the support? That would mean disconnecting the lines
but the system is already drained. The tank has a little rust and needs a cleaning anyway.
3. Any other suggestions?
