steering coupler removal

Robj said
I'm in the process of removing my steering box. Harbor Freight has a set of longer pin punches for $9 that I just picked up. Perfect for this job because they're long enough to drive it all the way through. A little oil on the pin and it drove out easy. I came at it from the top and blocked it from underneath. Figured I should edit and add that this is the large roll pin locking the coupler to the steering box.

Thanks for saying that, btw. WD-40 and the correct drive pin punch, and you should not have any problem driving that roll pin out of the coupler. Heat will damage the seals on that steering box input shaft , for those who are not re-building the steering box.
