Kondia FV-1 Head disassembly

[ScrapMetal]

Two things come to my mind for this.

The first thing I might try would be to use a piece of straight high-carbon wire (piano wire) or a sliver of spring steel about six or eight inches long. It's width should be no greater than the clearance between the piece you want to get out and the wall of the hole it is in. Make a very short 90 degree angle on the end of the wire/steel strip. Now you can insert it between the rod and the hole and feed it in until you reach the back of the rod. Use the "hook" you made to get behind the rod and pull it out.

The second possibility would be to use a round steel bar roughly the same diameter as the hole. Use the lathe to "core out the end of the bar to a size slightly smaller than the rod you want to remove. Put a couple of slits in it, kind of like and emergency collet. Lightly force it over the end of the rod and gently pull it out. This only works if there is enough "meat" on the little rod to get a hold of.

The third thing to try, yes I know I said "two" , would be to whack it with a BFH! Hey, at least it gives a temporary release of aggression.

Hope that helps (well, maybe not the hammer part),
