Speedo Drive Bushing Question

Hi, the thread on my speedo drive cable bushing is slightly damaged. A replacement bushing is available relatively cheaply, but it is held in to the housing with a spring pin that is inserted one way, there isn't a hole on the other side to drift it out.

Has anyone had any experience and therefore got any tips on how to extract this pin?

Hi Zedhead, You've probably guessed by now, but I'm afraid if there is no way to drift it out, it's going to have to be drilled (very carefully). It's a very short spring pin so not to far to drill. Best of luck.
