Tool to remove those @#!!& plastic pegs?

[Belrix]

So those grumble-grumble plastic pegs all over the bike are a real pain. I was using the tip of my pocket knife to pry the center peg up until I jammed my knife tip under my finger nail. A screwdriver works but it doesn't grip well and I end up almost beheadng the fastener.

Is there a good tool, maybe something shaped a bit like pliers, for this purpose?

Take a thin-bladed, small screwdriver, and dedicate it to the task! :thumbup:

There is a tool for this. I read on another post that you could get it at auto parts store.

Push Pin Tool

I had a pair of old Hemostats I used for pulling hooks our of fish. I bent the end in towards each other and they work great!

Sure there are...

There is a tool for everything...:roflblack: I think I have most of them...:shemademe_smilie: but I never had a problem with the push pin fasteners. I do make sure when re-installing the that I place the slot facing out to make it easier....looks like your on your way to harbor freight.....:thumbup:

That's the same one I have that I bought at Sears for 17.00. The funny thing is I went to HF looking for one and they said they didn't have anything like that and they directed me to Sears.

Oh, well. It's a good tool to have.

I use my side cutter (dike) with angled and I grind off to fit.

Harbor Freight was my first stop for push pin pliers and all of the pairs they had in stock were :cus:. My local CarQuest auto parts store ordered me a pair that are Lisle brand. They were more than the HF pliers, $19 or so, but IMO a :cus: tool is worse than no tool at all. YMMV.

Hmmn :hun:didn't know this existed. I usually don't have a problem removing the push pins on my bike, but i will go by Harbor Freight and pick up me a pair just in case. :clap:hyea:hyea:hyea:

Hi Michaelscs,

I picked a pair this morning from Harbor Freight. They look well made. Let's face it, it is not a tool to be used to remove anything that is difficult or tightened down.

It does not need to be a $250 tool.

Push Pin Pliers

Here is another source. I got mine at Sears. A double set, each with a different angle.

 

[Belrix]

Well, I just got a pair from HF, too. I don't agree with "look well made" but I also agree that this is a minor tool and quality isn't too important when removing a nylon peg.

[CapeSpyder]

The double set would be just right as there are a couple of panels that have pins on the underside

These too...

These will work too if you have enough room. If not, just grind as needed.

Hmmm

#2 flat tip. Works perfect!
