I had to replace the hinge pin on the Otter hood. The two ends of the pin were broken off along with a few breaks inside the hinge. Lots of heat from the touch and ATF fluid and WD40. Some gentle persuasion with a 10lbs sledge and a drift slowly made progress. After about an hours work the pin pushed out in 4 pieces. A new pin will be made from 1/4” rod.
