diff lock removal

diff lock removal
i just bought a new centre difflock vacuum actuator. but i cant get the old one off. to make it clear..i have removed from the car. i have also removed the vacuum diaphram bit. now i have the main pin and the fork looking bit left. how do i pull the pin out? it looks like a small hollow pin holding it in..do i drill this out or belt it out? i am supposed to be goin on a 4by trip today..hope to have it done
is it possible to get any pics?
i have completely changed my center diff lock but i dont remember any hollow pin.
by the actuator , im guessing that is the round part that the hoses connect to that moves the locking in and out. this was held in with just 2 bolts one at the top and one at the bottom.

the actuator fork and assembly is held in by 4 bolts (2 at top , 2 at bottom) then the whole unit should pull out towoards the drivers side
the rest of the assembly , you should disconnect the front tailshaft then there is about 4 or 5 bolts around the housing holding it into the transfer cas and there is 1 bolt inside the unit (where the fork came out) and the whole unit should pull off forwards

retaining pin
Hi yella,
my Haynes manual has the following, once you've got the unit out (how you have it):
5) To dismantle the actuator unit, unscrew and remove the differential lock warning switch. Retain any shims fitted.
6)Drive out and extract the actuator fork-to-shaft retaining pin
7)Unscrew and remove the retaining bolts securing the actuator valve unit to the main housing and separate the two. Remove the O-ring seal and gasket.
Hope this helps. When reassembling, put sealant on all the faces you have separated (actuator to housing, housing to transfer).
BTW, where did you get your new actuator from and how much?
