How to remove 90 year old taper pins
-
Take a heat gun and blow heat on the part for about two minutes to get it up to maximum temperature.
-
Spray the part with penetrating lubricant. It will smoke slightly, and it won't ignite.
-
If the lubricant evaporates, spray some more on, until the lubricant shows no sign of evaporating anymore, meaning that the temperature of the part has dropped significantly.
-
Repeat the heat - lubricant cycle three more times.
-
The idea is to break the bond between the taper pin and the part, and get some lubricant in the tiny microscopic gap in between.
