Three year old 9.8 Nissan, how do you hammer out the pins on the shifting shaft without potentially bending the rod. I don't understand why they did not simply use a carter pin or nut and bolt to hold this on.
 
Prudent application of the proper sized punch works. Tohatsu America sells a tool for this.

Thanks for the reply, I ended up putting a block wood between the shaft and a wall then knocked out the pin. I replaced the knock
out pin with a carter pin, will be easy to replace next water pump replacement.
 
I hope by carter, you mean stainless cotter. Otherwise, after the pin corrodes, you will be changing the coupler as well as the pin.
