HOW TO USE:

• Position the Workpiece: Secure the component containing the roll pin in a vise or on a stable work surface to prevent movement during the process.
• Align the Punch: Place the rounded tip of the Mayhew pilot punch directly into the hollow end of the roll pin. Ensure the punch is perpendicular to the pin and the surface.
• Drive the Pin (Removal): Using a hammer, strike the head of the punch firmly and squarely. Apply steady, controlled force to gradually drive the roll pin out of its hole. Repeat strikes as necessary until the pin is flush or extracted.
• Drive the Pin (Installation): For installation, align the roll pin with its hole. Place the punch tip into the hollow end of the pin and strike the punch head to gently tap the pin into place until it is fully seated or at the desired depth.
• Inspect: After use, clean the punch and inspect for any wear or damage before storing.
