Ludwig Speed King Repair

I want to remove the link and pin from one pedal and put on another. Any advice how to get the link and pin off? Here's a picture of one disassembled, thanks.

I would suggest gently tapping it out with a hammer and nail punch. Any other ideas welcome...

Just remember to "peen/mushroom" the end of the pin after the new part/pin is installed. This spreads end of the pin a bit larger than the hole so it won't fall out and get lost.

And you won't need a giant vice, a punch or a ballpeen hammer to do this... screw drive handler tapping on a small nail would do the job very nicely. FYI. There is a little sleeve in that link that care should be taken to preserve.

I put mine in a vise and drilled out the pin, using a 5/32 cobalt bit for hardened steel. You can get a replacement rivet at a hardware store.
