Can you drill it and use an easy out like you would a broken bolt ?

Can you try heat or is there stuff that will melt in the way?

The part thats stuck isn't threaded, it's basically just a little piece of steel rod, right? Lots and lots of heat should do the trick,along with lots of vibration. Not threaded at all. Just smooth round steel

Heat and quench with water or penetrating oil can help with stuck pins or bolts. Or you may have to drill it.

drilled mine out then use soft carriage bolts they shear easy but nothing else breaks and I got 5 pounds of them for a couple dollars when a hardware store was going out of business pound it in give it a whack to bend it so it won't fall back out

Get REAL hot then pour water on it. Are you sure it is not a tapered pin?

I agree may well be a tapered pin.

Spray some Millcroil penetrating oil (if you have it) on and leave sit for a few hours then try pounding out.this oil penetrates to the millionth of a inch.

I work on snowblowers. Make sure hole in shaft is aligned with hole in auger like billcat said. This is most people's problem when they are brought to me with a shear pin that can't be removed. If these are lined up correctly and it still won't drive out, there is a burr of metal where it sheared. Drill out slightly on each side just enough to remove burr. It will then tap out. Don't try to drill completely until you try this

Can you drill it and use an easy out like you would a broken bolt ? Going to try tomorrow to drill it out. A proper shear pin should drill very easy, they are soft so they shear. don't replace with a bolt. sounds like it may have twisted a bit and not lined up with auger shaft holes.
you're only allowed so many sunrises... I aim to see every one of them!

, I'd bet the pin holes in the auger is not lined up with the pin hole in the shaft. You are pounding against the shaft, not the sheared pin in the shaft. ^^^^ this.
