"I have an OMC hydro- mechanicle shift mechanism. I am replacing the cable. How do I get the pins out of the pully's in the geerbox.Do you need a special tool,are they pressed in, or threaded.has someone figured somehow without a special tool? Thanks"
 
"Go to a hardware store get so

"Go to a hardware store get some threaded rod and a peace that looks like a long nut ( for hooking two threaded rods together.) The same size as the pin's threads You can do this because I made one.

thread long nut on pin put big socket or something over the threded rod put washer then a nut on threaded rod wind the nut down and it will pull the pin out. If I had a photo I would send it.

This could be call a pin puller.
