A Question for the Douglas Shaper Dismantlers
I know a couple of owners have had their shapers apart so this is a question I hope might be answered. How is the 7/8" diameter pin ( yellow arrowed ) that retains the bottom link ( blue arrowed ) removed? I have had a go with a largish hammer and an aluminium drift but it has not budged. I have not been able to detect any set screws or pins that may prevent its removal.
The shaper makes a sound somewhere between a click and a clunk at the end of the ram's forward stroke and the sound disappears when a section of broom handle is carefully placed and pushed against the link removing the side play on the rocker arm's pin. The link has about 2mm side play which I'm hoping to remove with shims if it can be dismantled.
Any advice will be appreciated.
Bob.

PS. The copious oil that lubricates these components has been removed for the sake of clarity.
