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.

I bought and used the same set. On my 66 barracuda, I stuck the end of the punch in the female end of a 3/8" drive extension and wrapped some tape around it to hold it. Gave me the room I needed to give it a good wack with a hammer, and the Roll pin came out.
