I was lucky, mine froze up at a gas pump. It was a $100 tow home and, later in the week, when I went to take it apart, it had freed up! Did I ignore it and go on?
NO!
I took it apart and fixed it anyway. Like I said, I was lucky and it was EASY 'cause it was free to move, I just pushed the pin in as I yanked the assembly out!
Sorry it got you - this is a warning FEW will listen to: If yours is not stuck, FIX IT TODAY and DO NOT WAIT for the hell that awaits you!
Thanks. But when u say u pushed the pin ? how? finger a screw driver and if that doesnt work how do i drill it out ?
I seen pics with a hole made. but how do they or what do they use to make this hole.the link below shows how its suppose to look like after the pin is remove.
