That's the easiest way to break a tap fellas, I know it's a 1" tap but you have to support the opposite side such as a T handle or support the tap on the opposite side with your hand offsetting that load. It always helps to drill the hole a hair larger for easier tapping, 1/32 or 1/16th larger hole size helps tremendously. That's a hardened pin, the outer case at the very least, grind the head you're mushrooming at a 45, and where's your tap oil?? Clean up that pin in a lathe, hone the holes/bushings, make sure grease is getting in there and toss it back in. Hey, whatever works for you guys, you obviously have every tool at your disposal that I'll never see let alone own. I'm not a "know it all in the least, I've done the same stuff, made the same mistakes and paid the price many many times...
Jesus, first off, don’t buy cheap taps from harbor freight, I can tell, because those threads look like shit. I am really amazed they didn’t break the tap off. Also annealing the pin would have greatly eased this process.
Should have simply soften the hardened pin with the gas first to save the taps then pull it with some heat on it while hammering the back with sledge, its my everyday job🤬
I got one on my backhoe bucket that I can only pull, there is a hole behind it but can't access cause it's blocked by the engine. I made a puller with threaded rod but it doesn't budge.
There has to be a better way. I watched the process thinking, "what engineer designed that mess?" What is the reason for a non-bearing pin? Or why couldn't you freeze the pin once the 1" hole was drilled in it?
It's sparking because the pin was mushroomed by the sledge. The pins now larger than the bore.

And cutting oil might have helped as well.
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
Got the same problem on my Kubota skid steer!
That's cool you got it to work, but I'd actually like to see proper way manufactures do it. Gotta be a puller made for that...
Why the heck doesn't the pin have features for extracting?
It does, it's called a grease nipple, but u gotta grease it once in a while
What type of hydraulic puller was that?
OTC is the brand. I believe the same tool is sold under the brand name of Power Team. I’ve got some Power Team stuff, and it seems like good quality.
Ur sposed to turn the tap back 1/4 turn to vreak the chip
Shouldnt u hammer it while your trying to pull it out?

So heat first? Will mapp gas work? I don’t have oxygen and acetylene
@@stevenkleinhenz1017mapp is good to relax the mental for drilling and tapping just stay on it for ten minutes yeah
And weld a 20mm bar to a 40mm old pin to knock it out don’t hit 2 hammers🤦🏻♂️

@@stevenkleinhenz1017no it will be too slow and heat both parts at the same time

Very good job guys, I have a similar video on UA-cam...
Loose the annoying background music 🎵😊
Dude get a Lance you literally just spent the same amount
