Title: VMC 44 coin mech removal problem. Removal of rear pin Post by: loman4ec on June 16, 2010, 11:52:21 am I am trying to get the coin mech out of a vmc 44. I cannot get the pin out of the rear part of the shaft. Any tips on getting it out? I have been at it for over an hour and it has not moved

Have you tried giving it some heat, then gently pressing it out with a vice, or maybe a roll-pin punch? Or just hit it with some PB Blaster, and let it sit for a while.

I was trying to be careful applying the heat but I ended up almost catching the insulation inside on fire. I ended up dousing everything in water. the outer door is rotted bad so I am going to cut the embossing out of it and use it as a sign or something. Everything else is good on the door. Thanks for the help
