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!
