6. Use the magnet to remove the shear pin
head, then rotate the lathe spindle to line
up the inner and outer bores, as shown in
Figure 131. Next, use the magnet to remove
the other half of the broken shear pin when
it becomes visible.

7. Insert the blow gun tip into the shear pin
hole, blow out the hole with compressed air,
then put a drop of oil in the hole.
8. 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 and install a
new shear pin later.
Instead, take the time to carefully line up
the two bores. You may need to file a slight
chamfer on the end of the pin to make it
easier to insert.

and the head flush with the leadscrew

the shoulder, then rotate the washer 180° to
completely cover the head of the shear pin,
as shown in Figure 133.
