Not sure what you mean by "holes drilled", I assume you mean drilling the end of the pin to tap it and use a bolt and spacer as a puller. When you say "pins starting to move" do you mean move as in outward as with a puller? To brake the pins loose from the shoes it would be necessary to rotate the pin. Can you get a pair of vice grips, channel locks, or even a small pipe wrench on the end of the pin to rotate it? If not, can you pull the pin enough to get a tool on the end of it to rotate it? If not, I would think that by continueing to pull it, you could force the shoes to break loose from the pin. Once the metal stamping of the first shoe contacts the casting of the axle housing, if you continue to pull, I would think it would break the shoes loose. I can't remember how much room there is between the side of the metal stamping of the shoe and the axle housing. If it's close, you may be able to just continue to pull, if there is a lot of room, continueing to pull may result in bent tabs on the end of the metal shoe stamping. I guess the biggest danger here is in bending the metal stamping of the shoes. I'd try to rotate the pins before resorting to using a puller to break the shoes loose. Good luck, let us know how it turns out. I didn't have nearly the problems when I did mine, but I've recently bought a second WD (45), so I may soon be faced with the same dilema. Good Day!
