JD, thanks for your firing pin tool thread. I made one per your instructions out of a new $4.00 6mm socket and got my stubborn firing pin right out. It had soaked in penetrating oil overnight too.

I'm glad it helped.
It's so simple to make,and inexpensive,too.
Enjoy!

Expect the unexpected,..but don't expect the unexpected to be the way you expected.

I must admit that I broke my first firing pin removal tool and had to regrind the end lugs. 
I then bought a second one while ordering some other bits. Never thought about using an old socket.
Such a great idea and so obvious when you see it done!
It's nice to be important, but it's more important to be nice!
