ok. Hoping the picture goes through, this is what i did.
Note: I didnt take much time, cosmetically, on this but it did it's job.
The thick peice of steel that you see with the through hole (lower peice in the picture) is 3/4 thick. You can acheive this by welding 2 peices of 1/4 steel togeather. It's 1-3/8 wide and 1-7/8 long.
This peice will be your puller. It will have a through hole that will be 7/8 in diameter.
Now your pusher, which is the upper peice in the picture will be 4" long, a heavy 1-1/4 wide and a heavy 1/2" thick.
Your going to need EVERY BIT of this thickness for strength. Otherwise, the pusher will bow under preassure.
The pusher has a 7/8 center hole aswell but it DOES NOT go through. It is less than half way through this peice. That is so you can have a round peice, acting as a piston, to push out the old taper pins.
I used an old taper pin, cut it in half and ground the out side down JUST smaller than the pin that you are pushing so that your pusher piston does not get pressed in, it's self.
OR, you can use a socket or a peice of cold rolled round stock steel just smaller than the taper pin.
The bolts i used, were of grade 8 stock 1/2 diameter (NOTHING LESS) fine thread. I beleive that was 28 T.P.I. (Threads per inch) along with the use of grade 8 nuts. 4 grade 8 washers were used underneath each nut to keep from gouging into the Pusher and puller. Each bolt were 6" long. You will need to drill atleast a size or two OVER the bolt holes, to the side of the pusher and puller, so that the bolts do not bind on the two peices.
these pins will be so tight that you will PROBABLY go through atleast 2 sets of bolts, nuts, and washers like i did PER SIDE, PER PIN, But again, this is all i had to work with.
The space to work with will be snug/tight, there will be alot of wrench turining and a few hours spent. AGAIN, this is all i had to work with. I hope that this will work for you and many others aswell, if all else fails.
