Center Driveshafts Pin Replacement

[RustyUs]

After many years, I think the time has come to replace the driveshafts pins. Tekno does not have any 2.5x9.8mm pins. So, Mugen Seiki to the rescue. They got to be good, right? We'll find out.

Using a motorcycle chain breaker tool, we are out with the old...

In with the new...

I look forward to seeing if I can get another seven years out of the driveshafts

I don't have faith that the re-pressed pins won't drift out. I think my solution would have been to just replace the driveshafts.

Well that’s how they are made from the factory so they wouldn’t be any different if you bought new ones

We shall see how they hold up. I've done it many of times in the past... no ill effects. I know I'm not the only one doing it. Pins/tools are sold specifically for doing what I just did. I just took the El cheapo route with the chain breaker and did not opt for RC specific tool like the ones Hudy, RC Renew, AMR, Mugen Seiki, and T-Work's make.
