I recently borrowed my friend's PC890 router, and while tightening a bit into the collet, the spindle lock pin broke right half in two. I have read that this is a common occurrence and that the vast majority of people don't bother replacing it, but since it doesn't belong to me, it certainly feels like the right thing to do.
I have nearly completely disassembled the router to gain access to the pin, having removed the armature, upper motor housing, electronics, and plastic shielding, as seen in these photos:
The problem I am now facing is, no matter what I try, I cannot get that pin and retainer out. I have tried hitting it with pounding on it from the internal side, and I have tried pulling from the outside with a vise grips, but outside of that, I'm not really sure what to do.
I have acquired an exploded view of the assembly and photos of the components themselves, but haven't found them particularly useful, partially due to the exploded view's horrible quality. I have attached them below in case they are of any inspiration to any you.
Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank in advance!
