Removing the Romanian "G" kit barrel pin

[Davidfxs]

I tried the hardened bolt, a punch. About the time I was about to commit Hari Keri. I tried a Torx socket. After some cringing, and standing as far away from the Old 12 ton Press while still pulling the jack rod, a loud “Pop” was heard. I figured “Great” another broken tool. When I looked it had moved. Believe the difference was the wide top of the socket kept the socket straight.

Pushing out the Barrel was easy. 3 pennies “Now crushed” and again the good ole press.
