Default DHE roll replacement

well I had a fun Day changing out a roll pin. here is how i did it. it was actually pretty enjoyable. 1 remove the roll screw. use a hollow ground bit that's the full of the screw head.2 tap out the roll pin using a brass hammer and a punch that's the full of the screw hole. 3 mark the front of the pin before complete removal of the pin with a scribe so you can realline the screw head. then completely remove the pin. 4 make a jig out of a nice dense hardwood like oak or ash that can take a little abuse without cracking to pieces. i made this 2"x2" and long enough to grab the end in a solid vice.
