Got my car fixed and saved a LOT of money, thanks to everyone that put in your 2 cents in. If we all don't do that, we will never learn the short cuts.
When I did mine, I left the battery hooked up, and I used a pneumatic dremmel tool to drill out that damn pin, it took maybe 5 min, but it was a lot smaller than a drill and more accurate. I think the hardest part of the job was remembering where in the all those screws go.
