Need help with reverse lockout install
 
As the title states, I need help from someone that's done it before. If one of you doesn't mind being a good samaritan and lives in toronto, and has the right tools, I would really appreciate it. I really don't wanna go and buy a tool I'll only ever use once when I could borrow it instead. Anyone?

When i installed my raceseng reverse lockout all i did was go to the home depot to buy a drill bit that was 2.5mm. and used a hammer. Pretty straight forward actually. I could help you out if need be

Alright I'll try that first. I thought I needed to buy some punch tool. Thanks!

Punch tool is highly recommended.

I tried removing mine with a small allen key that fit in the hole. After almost an hour of hitting it gently with a hammer, and fighting with it, I ended up breaking the stock plastic reverse lock-out. Cracked a huge piece off of it. Luckily I had a mechanic friend that had the exact size of punch that I needed, (3mm if I recall correctly), so I was able to finish the install.

Once I had the correct tool, it took me all of 5 minutes to remove the OEM one and put the new one on, which is why it might be in your best interest to try to get a punch instead if possible.

Good luck!

Thanks! CwpBrz helped me out, bless him. He had a drill bit only slightly thicker than the one I was using and it came out in about 10-15 seconds! So yeah, the right thickness is important

So you can re-use the pin with the new reverse lockout I presume, I just got a $10 Aluminium reverse lockout from eBay and will try it when I get it, I must remember to use the correct punch key.

Correct. Just make sure you hammer it back in all the way or it'll rattle
