I would think there would be a better way to do that , or is this common ?

There is a better way, than drilling. I have gotten them out before, and repaired the ejector by silver soldering. But, it's a tedious process getting the new guide pin lined up perfectly before soldering. There's a narrative I posted on the Fox site years ago about this type repair. This link should take you to it.
http://forum.foxcollectors.com/viewt...hp?f=15&t=6511 Since doing this repair I have learned of another method for getting the broken piece of the guide pin out, by using little rare earth magnets like you can buy at Lowe's, etc. I would have been furious if I had a 'smith do that to my SuperFox. However, it can be repaired so as to be invisible. I'd have it micro-tigged and dressed down. If it's peened carefully, before finish filing, any sign of the hole will just go away. It might be possible to do so without even having the welding done, by threading the hole, putting in a tight fitting plug, then peening. That's probably what I'd try before sending it off for welding. Seeing that really bugs me. SRH |

Yeah, drilling that hole was not necessary at all. But that mist have been why, a broken guid pin.
I cant figure how drilling that hole would have made it any easier to remove.

If the hole was drilled in front of the end of the broken pin they might have cranked their air compressor up to warp speed and tried to blow it out, which would work if it weren't too stuck. You could also take a needle point grease gun and pump grease into the hole to push it, which would work even better than air, most likely.

When I posted my suggestions above I did not know there was a blog on Dewey Vicknair's site detailing this repair exactly. I discovered it a few minutes ago.
