I use a hammer and a nail set that is approximately sized for the trigger pin. The nail set is curved so it doesn't move a whole lot when its struck with the hammer.

I use one of these. It is a spring loaded center punch. You just push on it and it will drive the pin out. no need for a hammer that way.

An 1/8" punch is the correct tool. It should be pressed in and out also.:D

I use sarcasm, ridicule & rhetoric to get mine to move. Takes a little extra but doesn't mar the surface. ;)

Yeah but that usually results in a trigger pin with low self esteem. Next thing you know, it will be doing drugs and hanging out with Tippmanns...

mallet and a 1/8" punch. put the frame on a roll of tape laying on it's side to make room for the pin and you tap it out.

I usually use the cement on the porch. That way I'm sure the frame doesn't slip around on the ground causing the nail set to jump around and scar the frame.

you mean you put a frame on cement, that hard rock-like stuff that can easily scratch the hell out of aluminum parts, and then beat on it with a nail and hammer??

i feel sorry for your parts...

Oops... I forgot to add the sarcasm emoji.

I was inspired by the "Mechanic Fails" memes.
