Trouble Punching/pressing out crank pins in old DQ Supers, Finessas, and 265's?

This little piece of equipment should do the job!

I use broken pin punch to start the tough ones .

Above are the photos now.

I have Fresno Wire Rope & Rigging make me a new winch cable for the truck every 3 years like clockwork.  Then I have them install rings and new hooks on the old cable which I coil up inside of a canvas sack stowed in the toolbox on my truck.

I use this firm because they are local, have been in business since 1952, work on all types of cables, chains, connectors, have the cleanest shop around, great employees, great equipment, extensive inventory, and I feel they do a better job than ordering from Warn, and about half the price.

I actually snapped the cable a week ago when pulling a metal fencepost set in concrete for about 40 years.  So it was time.

We are taking a trip up to Lake Almanor in a week, and then heading over to a Ghost Town in central Nevada (Berlin) along with the largest display of Ichthyosaur fossils in the world (worlds largest prehistoric fish on the West side of the Great Basin).

Prepped the truck, trailer, all gear, groceries, and just needed this last piece to complete the prep.

We have guests coming up for the 4th for a few days —- and did not want my prep to interfere with their visit.  We leave next Sunday morning.  Expect to be away 8 days, or so.  Remote area.
