I was using an allan key that fit perfectly into the hole, but after half an hour of enraged banging away at it (nearly missing and smashing my radio/climate control a couple of times with the hammer), it still wasn't budging, and all I managed to do was break a large chunk of plastic off of the OEM lock-out. Cue expletives.

Came into work the next day and asked one of the mechanics at my dealership if he had a punch tool. He did. It took less than 5 minutes with the proper tool, from start to finish, but I'm wondering if I didn't bend the pin a bit like yourself, as the pin will no longer go all the way in and sticks out about 1-2cm from the back of the lock-out. Not enough to bother me, but just enough to scratch my thumb sometimes while shifting.

Good luck with replacing that, dude! I wonder if you could just order a new pin from Subaru or does the lock-out come as a whole piece WITH the pin...?

Which lock-out did you get?

Lol a custom one. Trying to upload the picture tapatalk not working lol
