Is the nut off all ready? When I have cotter pins that won't come out I zip the nut off with my impact and then tap it out with a punch. You could try a drill bit, but it may be kinda' rough, go slow /forums/images/graemlins/dunno.gif

Good luck /forums/images/graemlins/thumb.gif
I drilled mine out, its all good. Brace yourself and drill about halfway in and try using a punch again. once I got it popped out a ran the drill bit back threw the other side so I didn't wallo out the hole, not thats its that big of a deal since the pin is just holding the nut from spinning /forums/images/graemlins/smirk.gif
