Roll pin size

Roll pin size was created by GT 14
The hole in my C-175 steering wheel is 1/4", the roll pin looks to be the same size. The other end is mushroomed so I am assuming it is a full 1/4 not 3/16. Been using a 1/4 punch and no movement yet. Soaking with Sea Foam Deep Creep. What say you experts?

Just went and knocked a roll pin out of one of my C175's a bit and it is 1/4"

Just make sure the punch isn't over 1/4" or mushroomed any at all on the tip or you'll be there all day. The only tip I have is hammer time. :rolling

GT...is the wheel still on the tractor?? Really need to brace the wheel. I have leaned the wheel against a tree with a 2x4....so it is good and solid.....it broke free really quick.

I have it in my big vise, and now that I have the size verified will get a bigger hammer in the game. :beat

Pin is out, (easy). Steering wheel will not budge.
Has anyone tried drilling a hole (under the wheel cover) and using a punch?
I will let it soak another day, then if a no go will cut the shaft and use a coupler.

I have a 12T but you need a hole in the hub. Probably go with cut and coupler, that way I can have a perfect lined up wheel.

I was thinking about replacing my steering wheel on the 416 and I did see the roll pin but should the wheel pull off after pin is removed?
