Just beat it in with a sacrificial drift. As you bash it further inside the spring will put more and more force on the cap. Eventually it will start reciprocating and even before that you can clean the inside of the stanchion with some emery so that when it starts moving it'll come out easier. ____________________ a.k.a 'Geri'

If you clamp it back in the yoke. You can get a 2-leg puller under the edges of the yoke and screw it down onto the "dimple" in the middle of the plug. This should push the plug down far enough to allow you to clean the grot out.
That, or put a big bit of wood over the end of the stanchion, rest the other end on a second bit of wood and whale on it with a lumphammer until it submits.
Or soak it in vinegar.
Or soak it in diesel.
Or try electrolysis. ____________________ “Rule one: Always stick around for one more drink. That's when things happen. That's when you find out everything you want to know.”

As the ever erudite Stinkwheel suggests, Diesel works wonders ____________________ I'm immortal. Well, so far. |
