Took the edge of a knife and pried up the pin enough to move it out of the hole and then inserted the pin back through the hole. Took maybe 5 minutes Good luck Tom SanctonM/S MORNING LIGHTDYC

If push comes to shove an angle grinder will make short work of the car and allow for removal. Short of destroying the car I would attempt to slip a thin dental pick down the slot between the pin and the car. Try to catch the hole in the pin for the ring. Maybe, maybe not. If it is a tight interface then probably not. You could also try drilling and tapping the pin so that you can put a small machine screw in it and then use pliers to pull the pin out. I imagine that the pin may try to spin as the drill bit or tap begins to bite. To help prevent this attach a line to the car so as to side load it and put pressure on the pin against the track hole.

Unfortunately, he forgot to move the car away from the hole and the spring retracted the pin down into the hole once the ring was off. The top of the pin is now flush with the top of the car. Fortunately, the car is in a commonly used place, but at some point I would like to be able to move it again. Anybody dealt with this situation before? This is our 30-2 with Merriman jib cars that I believe were standard on these boats. Thanks for any suggestions!
