Hi ken, this is a easy R & R using wire dykes to remove pin # 151-17. The dykes will get under the pin's top and lever the pin out.
That's about it, you just have to get a good grip on the pin and pull it out. If you plan on using them buy extra arms as the metal teeth just chews up those plastic arms.
Hello,forgive my ignorance,but what are wire 'dykes'?
