In taking my SB7 shaper down to clean it up and paint it, I encountered taper pins for the first time and I will say now... not a huge fan. Nothing but stories online about turning them into rivets or people having to repair the thing the taper pin was in after they beat it to death getting the pin out. One guy mentioned he used his hydraulic press to get them out but that wouldn't work for me but.. another tack, see photos. Hideously crude.. looks like I made it with an axe but it works. Only popped two so far with this but worked great... keep on dialing in force on the pusher and then the pin just lurches out... gently push it out the rest of the way with what ever fits in the hole. The ball bearing is to have a small bit of reach into the hole in which the pin is located
