I asked my trannie guy how he removed the 'pin', last year, when he O/H'edHorrie's trannie, and also replaced the rubber boot and serviced the entire trunion joint assembly. He seemed to recall that he merely put the pin into a viseand tapped the ball-head-housing so that it freed up, relative to the pin's attachment to it. At any rate, the simple procedure worked; no 20-ton press required.

What tool should I use to remove the pin from the ball head ? Any 'gotchas' in disassembling the body ? Also, I may want to replace the boot, even though mine looks pretty good, with no cracks or tears. Where can you get the correct boot without paying a fortune ? BTW, I'm keeping the B&T setup. I know some have gone to cross-type joints front and rear, which I'm not interested in doing.
