Coupler shoe pin removal

I drove mine out with 2 2lb sledge hammers. Set the face of one hammer on the face of the pin / socket on the bottom side to allow the pin to push out, all propped up on some blocks of wood. Strike the back of the sledge resting on the pin with the hammer you feel the best swinging! It takes some force but I was able to remove and reinstall mine without mushrooming it out. Dont be afraid to hit it like a man, just use the double sledge trick to keep it from ruining the pin.
