[TR] Pivot Pin removal

[William Pugh]

Thanks George,

	There are indeed two flats (7/16), that allowed me to put enough torque on
the pin to break it free, after that it was easy to remove with a good
screwdriver (I snitched one from my gun tool set).  No further effort was
required and the old MC slid out the back easily.

Thanks for the help

think there are also 2 flats on each side of that head that will take a wrench
(7/16"?).  A wrench (if you haven't tried that yet) will give you a lot more
torque (or whatever it is that moves bolts).
