Best way to remove steering coupler pin

did you ever get that pin out? it should go easily with the right size "dowl" (I like the drill bit idea) and a few taps with a hammer.. you could just let it fall into the cup, the grease will catch it or if you're lucky it'll come out most of the way and hang there and you can grab it with needle nose pliers. I don't like the idea of not reusing it, it sets the depth of and retains the internals where they are supposed to be, don't lose it. "Ma" put it there for a reason. JM2C.
