I'm in the process of taking the top plate off to rebuild the cylinder. Of course one of the "easy" steps of disconnecting the draft control spring from the yoke has me stopped. I started driving out the larger pin that connects the yoke to the housing and its barely moving using a 3/4" extension as a punch and a ball peen. I then tried the top pin, which is in there even worse. I soaked both in PB Blaster last night and will try again tonight, but thought I'd solicit advice. The top of the yoke looks peened pretty good from the previous top link, but still it doesn't seem like it should be that difficult to drift either of these out. Am I missing something? Or is this simply a case of getting a bigger hammer and proceeding?
