How long do you think a used 7.25 will last? Get real. 300 dollar shipping. The whole damn rearend is only worth 50. Haste makes waste. He has the 8.75 why not do it right?.
Put it in a vise with a 3/8 deep well impact socket over one side of the pin. Tighten the vise driving the pin inside the deep well till its flush.Use a flat round 1/8 inch punch to drive it the rest of the way out.
