Just Jet A Thin Screw Driver Or An Awl And Pound The Pin Out. It Comes Out Pretty Easy But Once You Have It Out I Suggest Seplacing It With A Pro Break Pin With A Nut On The End It Just Makes Life Easier.

you need a screw or a drill bit and a hammer and you put the screw(or drill bit) on the pin and hammer it out...it takes a while and next time just search please

And my axle did not come out at all, on both my old a's, so you could always drill it out if you want and replace it with a bolt..

ehh the only bad thing about old a brakes is they don't seem to work with wider wheels. Like for instance my low pro gets stuck on the sides of my old a brake for some reason haha so if I do a 180 bar I hella eat shit backwards, but it might be better with some grinding and maybe cutting it down a bit.. But really, drilling the axle thing out is pretty much the only way to get it off really that I can think of..
