Removing pressure pin from chain tensioner housing
Having trouble figuring out how to press the chain tensioner pressure pin through the chain tensioner housing...
Anyone have any ideas as to how I would press it out?

Got it! I just used my finger to push it out. Thanks man!
Nice car by the way...That's the '92 500E? I want one so bad...
What would be an indicator of a damaged pressure pin?

Any marring or chunks missing, they are steel so shouldn't be any damage.

They looked pretty good to me! Wow! I bet that engine is nuts to work on...
Nice paint! Is yours one from the Porsche factory?
Looks like your front bumper is painted? So nice and fresh...
