Rear Toggle Assembly - Disassembly Problem

BobBlakely · 04-05-2009, 05:08 PM

Howdy folks!

I'm having difficulty disassembling the rear toggle assembly of a 1916 Erfurt. The assembly is held together by a small pin through the rear toggle link. Drifting this pin up from the bottom and out the top of the link should free the assembly. All attempts to drift the pin have failed. The assembly appears to have been reblued as an assembly some time in the distant past and the pin may be "rust blued in".

Any suggestions? (destruction of the pin is acceptable, if necessary).

Regards
Bob...
