Which way does the pin get driven out? Do I start from the ejection side or the other side to drive the pin out?
BTW: It's an AMD 63 kit.

Either way. You'll be amazed at how much force it takes to get the damn pin started. Once it gets going, it's smooth sailing.7.62x39 said:They are not tapered so theoretically either way.
However I read some where, that they were pressed in L to R and therefore the preferred method was to press them out R to L.
I use custom bench vise that I modified just for this task. makes pressing barrel pins a breeze. :headspin:Disconnector said:Either way. You'll be amazed at how much force it takes to get the damn pin started. Once it gets going, it's smooth sailing.
Use a press or a heavy hammer. A brass punch is nice also. Gloves should be considered a requirement. Ask me how I know []
