David,
I mentioned this tool before. Because it's so big I can't scan it, (still no
Digital Camera wha!).
Go to the Auto parts store and get a cheap Dent Puller. Go to the Hardware
Store and get Two nuts that fit the thread on the shaft of the dent puller.
Go to the local Welder and have him weld one of the nuts on the adjustor of
a pair of Vice Grips, (8"). Use the second nut to "lock" the shaft on the
pliers. Grab hold of them nasty bridge pins, (real tight), and give the
puller a whack. If you do it right the pins will come out with one whack!
