You don't mention the tapered pin. Slide hammer makes sense but whats the trick
for pin removal?
Plastic washers definitely won't like heat.
Thanks,

Ron & Tim,
Remove the screw and attach a slide hammer to the end of the shaft to
remove the shaft from the fork. I wrote an article back in '97 for
team.net's healey web pages, but the site's down. The threads for the
hole on the end of the shaft are 1/4"-28 I believe and about 1" deep.
Be careful with the heat, There are two plastic washers, one on either
side of the fork.
Cheers,
Bob Haskell
