Jack,
I had the same problem on my TR4. The pin was broken, I removed the fork
with tremendous efforts. Pin remainders` removal was then simple.
I bought a hardened pin from Moss and everything worked well - until I
tried to unsrew the hardend pin one day (I do not remember why).
The pin broke when unscrewing it. It seemed to have fitted very tight in the
shaft.
The same procedure as before....
Now I have it welded all together and it works well!
