I hit a rock and broke the propshaft shear pin. Ironically the prop is fine. The worse news is that the pin broke off both sides with the solid piece stuck in the prop shaft. I've tried banging it through with a drift but it won't move. Also have broke about 5 titanium drill bits trying to drill it out and haven't even gotten half way through yet.

Helpful thoughts appreciated.

I just used a drift and pushed mine out. Sorry but my experience was that it was easy to push out.
