That makes very little sense. Hes still going to need to get the pin out after he pulls the engine so why waste a perfectly good shift linkage.
you need a non taperes punch. What youre using is trying to spread the pin out in the linkage which is why its not moving. what you want is something that pushes on the lip of the pin as stated earlier. an 8mm non taperes punch is the correct tool for this job but I was able to use one of these and hammer it through.
