Anyone know the length, and diameter of the roll pin in the centerlink that alines the power steering control valve. Mine has sheered off, need to drill it out, and replace.
Thanks, Paul
 
It cannot be drilled out. Just use the clamp to hold it in place. Mine broke off many years ago. I was not able to drill it out. Roll pins are made from pretty hard steel. My control valve has not moved with just the clamp (and threads in the valve/drag link).

Yes, the clamp will keep the control valve in place, but it is no problem to fix it right.

As stated before, the roll pin is very hard and cannot be easily drilled out. You can use a carbide end mill, but that is too much trouble.

Just use a 1/8" drill bit and drill a new hole 1/4" deep into the centerlink. Just keep it in line with the existing hole, and drill it inward on the centerlink a little ways. The centerlink is much easier to drill than the roll pin.
