The Famous fuel butterfly is held on to the shaft with two very small  (.080) 
tapered pins. There is no access from the other side of the pins to  knock 
them out, so they must be pulled.  I solved this by clamping a pair  of 
lineman's pliers to the pins using the c-clamp.  I then bolted a pair of  steel plates 
to the end if the pliers.  I slid a steel bar thru the plier  handles, 
grabbed with both hands and gave a quick wrap to the steel  plates.  Both pins game 
out quickly!  Nice when a simple plan comes  together and nothing broken!
