    Removing the Bonnet Hinge Pin

    Hold on to your hat, because I'm going to tell you about the easiest way you've ever seen to remove the hinge pins from your T-Series bonnet, without marking it up or otherwise making it impossible to reinstall.
    Soak the hinge pins overnight with a penetrating lubricant. Using a suitably sized punch or drift, knock the pin out either end about two inches. Chuck the end of the pin in a hand held drill (unplugged) and tighten. You can then use the drill's grip to slowly tighten, then slowly rotate the pin, as you withdraw it from the bonnet. The same procedure can be used for replacement.
