When I was taking out one of my spindle pins, the punch was a little too small and went in between the threads and the bushing. The threads got ruined. Does anybody have any pins on a parts car I could buy?

New ones were are around $17 each and interchangeable when I bought them last year. If there were any problems removing the originals, for $40 I'd buy new ones, and clean the bores with a couple of passes from a rotating scotch brite pad followed by several chases with a doubled 410 cleaning pad(shot gun cleaning kit) and a healthy dose of the silicone grease supplied with Urethane Bushing kits-applied to locking bolt, the actual spindle pin and corresponding bore.

I'd buy new locking pins as well. No point trying to reuse anything that could add to the difficultly the next time.

I will be buying spindle pins, bushings, etc. as well. Motorsports is the only vendor I have found that has them. Does anybody know who else sells them (cheaper)?

Did you check Courtesy Nissan, or your local Dealer, I bought mine local cheeper than MSA-before shipping!

PS thanks Mike, my mind was floored and my fingers couldn't keep up!

I just saw that also. Ebay has a spindle pin puller for $120, but when new ones are ~$50 less, what's the benefit of leaving them intact? Normally I would have left them in, but I have poly bushings and have spent so much so far that another $50 doesn't mean any thing any more.

After beating on them relentlessly and after much cursing, I took my control arms to a machine shop and had them press them out. Worth every penny. At Hybridz they have a loaner program for the tool to pull them, but on the forum it seems like every third entry is that the tool broke. I think I'll pay to let somebody else have that headache. Even the machinist said it was a bear getting them out.
