[QUOTE="Johnny, post: 393679, member: 13599"] to keep a tool box simple, many of the tools are often multi-tasked. Personally, I use a pair of needle nose pliers. Put one jaw through the eye of the pin and tap it out with another tool. But, both legs of the pin must be aligned as straight as you can get them. Or else, cut them off with a whack of a chisel. LOL nails do work. I have used many on kids wagons. But, not on a wheel that may spin at over 100 miles an hour. Worst case is where the head of the pin is deformed and the pin is rusted into the hole. Then, it is up to your own ingenuity to git-r-done. Once it is all apart, dress up the nut. Remove the burrs and make nice straight sides. and - vow to use only heavy duty stainless cotter pins of the correct size upon reassembly. Jus my Dos Centavos . [/QUOTE]
