The knobs on my access doors are giving me a bit of a headache
I was able to get two of the pins out on the knob side (1 from each access panel door) Those were bit situated where the smaller side was on the latch side of the back part (the cam latch), meaning the pins was in the middle of the cam. They both came out relatively easily. The other pin on each knob are not coming out and I've bent two Starrett drive punches trying.
Am I making an incorrect assumption that given how the other two pins were in the hole the other two should be the same? It certainly appears that I'm driving out the smaller side. I've tried from the other side as well, even if to just loosen the driving from the other end.
I've tried pressing them out on the press but they aren't conducive to holding properly. I'll probably build a jig to hold the doors properly for this operation if I cant drive them out normally.
I've used Kroil on them for two days. I'm going to try heat but I'd prefer that as a last resort.
These are the pins I'm referring to.
And don't get me started on the pins on the latch side, none of them even think about moving
