Default Hi Guys

The track pins with the double heads, are designed so that a few blows with a hammer will cause the heat to fall off, allowing the rest of the pin to be driven out with the track pin punch. This only works on one end, as the heads on each end are different. This pin would then be replaced with the joining pin, that is retained with a washer and split pin.
