Crank Pinning Fixture

I initially struggled due to a lack of instructions on how to use this fixture as it is quite different (recessed) than the normal one that has instructions. I realized after the fixture was nearly flush (only realizing later it needed to go even deeper anyway) that it was an interference fit and I had no means to remove it.



Again due to no instructions I initially assumed I screwed up and installed it backwards but after talking to Josh he said they sometimes need to be turned down slightly. I was able to cobble together two separate crank pulling tools that worked to pull it off with the fixture in the way, and then knock the fixture out from the back side and then made a redneck lathe with a flap wheel and the fixture on the bolt so it could spin and and clearance evenly. I had to remove a decent amount of material for it to be removable.

Then Josh talked me through how deep to drill and where to set the pin. Instructions with pictures showing this would be VERY helpful.
