Trying to remove the outdrive. 1983 Volvo AQ270. The helmut pin doesn’t have the holes for the 1/4” x 20 bolt to remove it. Any trade secrets to get the pin out? Drill and tap and use slide hammer? Here’s what it looks like.

Take a punch and a hammer and knock it from side to side which should get it loose. I remember some of those, at least Volvo made a change.

Take a bit of flat bar, weld in two pins to make a spanner and work it back and forth
