broken cotter pin

May 09, 2004 1 Replies

I was trying to remove the cotter pin at one end of the center tie rod and both sides coming out were so rusty they broke. Now there is still enough bit of cotter pin to make the removal of the nut impossible, but I can barely hold it with the pliers. Anybody have any idea of how to get this pin out?



thanks Ant


Drill it out. The pin is soft steel.
