M210 Sport Torq Locker Install?

[apensity]

Has anyone put together a video or step-by-step instructional post on how to install a Torq locker in a M210 front diff? It seems pretty simple, except for the roll pin for the carrier pin, it is a blind pin, so no way to punch it out, I saw someone use a press and press the carrier pin through and break the roll pin then fish out the pieces. I don't have acces to a press, so I was going to maybe use a punch and hammer, but wanted to see what other have done. The Rubicon doesn't have this issue due to a locker already being in the M210 with no spiders. Thanks for any input.

You can tap the pin out using a punch and use a brass drift and sledge to pound the pin out if you don’t have a press.

This was in a D30.

Thanks for the pics, great to see how it looks. The D30 has the pic where you can push it out with a punch from one side the other. Unfortunately, the M210 (D44) has only one opening for the pin to push down into, so now way to tap it back out again, it needs to be sheared off. But I was thinking of using a brass drift as you mentioned...
