There's an easy way to remove an Atomic clone pin?! My last clone was ruined when I tried to extract its pin. I swear that ....... was welded.
The authentic atomic pin is much easier to remove.
Yes...
Place deck into a wood faced bench vise with the 510 pointed down, adjust vice so wood faces are just touching the 510 threads, tighten the center pin coil screw down, use a heavy duty #1 Phillips and a 16oz dead blow hammer to tap the screw driver gently. Once the screw head Is bottomed out on the deck back the screw out 5 turns and tap very gently, once bottomed on the deck repeat. Once the pin is 10 threads below the deck use a solid nail-set with a head the same size as the od of the center post and drive it through very gently. Center pin will be on the floor unscathed.
To press back flip the deck over (510 up) , line up the coil holes and drive back in with a nylon hammer also very gently. Do not drive all the way in before checking the alignment of the coil holes. If coil holes are not aligned correctly us a flat head screwdriver on the base of the pin to turn the slot. Once aligned put back in the vise and tap to make the pin just flush with the 510 threads.
Do not use this method on a Cyclone! Cyclones are threaded and while this method would work it will also destroy the bushing that the pin is THREADED into.. The Atomic has no threads.
