mwc5 Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 Having a problem installing an Extreme Trigger Kit just received from Shooters Connection. Purchased an STI strut and new pin with the kit, BUT - I'm having a heck of time installing the pin in the Extreme hammer ? was able to knock the pin into the hammer and slightly through the strut's hole, BUT no amount of hammering (brass hammer) will move the pin any further into the other side of the hammer .......... Do these hammers have under size holes, are new strut pins (Shooters Conn brand) oversize, or .... ? Don't know if I should SLIGHTLY enlarge the hammer pin hole or try another pin - would appreciate any advice ! THANKS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spence1300 Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 I see this quite a bit actually. I've found its much easier to press the pins in rather than using a hammer. A bench vise works good in place of a press. If the pin is perfectly lined up hammering it in can be a real pain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mwc5 Posted July 19, 2014 Author Share Posted July 19, 2014 Thanks - thought about pressing pin in but was afraid of deforming the hammer .............. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
troupe Posted July 20, 2014 Share Posted July 20, 2014 Polish the pin in a drill. Then the vise. Polished parts have less friction !!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
