Just replaced the (embarrassingly) worn pins on my kf2se last night for the first time with the pins in the speedpack.

Didn't use any specialty tools, just a 3/32 socket(any small one will do), bench vise, hammer, and small punch.

Heated the worn dogbone pin with a torch first as they were stubborn, popped right out in the vise once hot. Seemed to have been loctited. Used the punch to push the old ones into the hole a bit once the vise had got them flush. Then I seated the new pin with a hammer, and pushed the old one out and new one in using a vise/socket in one go. Then used calipers to center them. Original pins were offset within a tolerance of 0.10mm, was easy to get the new ones centered to 0.01mm.

Took a fair amount of force to press the new ones in, but I'm not 100% confident that they'll stay in place without loctite. Have yet to run the car but I don't think they'll move.


Similar method as in this video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uTE6GCa-ipU
