    I'm not sure that you're supposed to be removing that pin. Upon removal of that pin what is your end game You're going to pull something out of that hole that's not shown it's facing down You're trying to pull a cylinder out of that bore? I imagine there won't be any instructions for this because this is not done by Toyota this would be done at a rebuilding facility that would have the necessary information on how this part is assembled when it's built so there's always that but with time and nothing else to do I'm sure you may figure it out is the pin loose can you move it with your finger or with a pair of pliers gently maybe you need to depress something in the boar that's facing the ground and then pull the pin out?. I would have thought you would have tried that by now.

    Just curious if you are trying to repair that accumulator or doing a post mortem on one you replaced. I have just replaced mine and I am toying with the idea of cracking her open to take a look. I wish these parts were being remanufactured by somebody. The replacement cost is no joke.

    If I were to guess, could it be anything more than a guide pin for two mounting surfaces?
