Kuhn,
I use anyting that has the same diameter as the hole. I've used push pins, paper clips or even xtra pins thats come off from my extra tracks. The way I removed the pin when I frist had my tank was putting the tank on its side, Tools were slip joint plier, needle nose plier , a screw driver and push pin. I would place underneath the pin i was to remove, a Slip joint plier . You wanna open that plier wide enough so that the pin will slide thru its teeth. The sides of pliers will support the plastic track when it comes down to hammering the pin out. I use the handle end of the screw driver as the hammer and push pin the nail. Once you've pushed out the pin remove it with the plier and if yer lucky just us yer finger tips. I use the pliers cause my figners are just to big. Mark that link that you've removed the pin from, keep track also of which way the pin with the rough end slides out from. The rough end of the pin locks it in place. when reassemblying you should always insert the pin with the smooth end first into the track.

if u need to remve that pin, push toward the smooth end . I can easily work on my tiger out in the field when the tracks misalign with a paper clip now a days by pushing on the same pin I worked on from the beggining. Remember to inspect for loose pins before and after ever run. Everyone one has their own technique in removal of the pin. This is miine hopefully others will add on. [sm=bananahead.gif]
