All good then Dale.

For future reference, these spring steel roll pins are too hard to be drilled out successfully, with normal mech workshop gear.

The vital things to do, are to use the right size punch, ideally a roll pin punch [discussed in detail in this past thread https://www.outdoorking-forum.com.au/forum/ubbthreads.php/topics/58638/1.html ], and to have a solid support under the shaft, not the steering wheel hub.

Cheers,
