5. Move the retaining ring shown in Figure
130 away from the shroud washer, then
move the shroud washer away from the
shear pin and against the retaining ring.
This will create room for you to remove the
shear pin.

6. Use the magnet to remove the shear pin
head.

8. Put on safety goggles, insert the blow gun tip
into the shear pin hole and blow out the hole
with compressed air.
9. Put a drop of oil in the hole, then insert the
new shear pin into the bore, as shown in
Figure 132.
Note: If the pin does not freely slide into the
bore, DO NOT use a hammer on the pin or
you may permanently damage the shear
mechanism and bore, which would make
it nearly impossible to remove if it breaks
again. Instead, take the time to carefully
line up the two bores so it slides in easily.
Chamfer the end of the pin if necessary to
make it easier to insert.
10. With the pin completely seated in the bore
and the head flush with the leadscrew
shoulder, slide the shroud washer against
the shoulder, then rotate the washer 180° to
completely cover the head of the shear pin,
as shown in Figure 133.
