I had a broken pin in the bandswitch gear. I was not able to drive out the pin. The pins can be drilled out with a titanium coated drill bit. Just take your time and let the drill do its job, do not let it get hot. Use a good cutting oil or Kroil. If there is enough material and depth, you can tap the hole and use a allen head setscrew in its place. Worked for me on a bandswitch shaft. 73s Russ.
