I am trying to find out what is the best spool shaft pin removal press tool for TranX200 ? I have new bearings coming.

I used to use a Drift Pin, but recently got one similar to these:

Baitcaster Reel Spool Pin Puller Spool Bearing Pin Remover Tool Reel Repair | eBay

Also subject to change especially during peak periods.

www.ebay.com

I would be interested to see what others use.

I use the hedgehog remover similar to the one pictured above. https://www.hedgehog-studio.co.jp/product/2. The ebay one doesn't have a stainless insert and the threads stripped on a particularly stuck pin. For heavy jobs I use Earnies Bearing Bad remover which is the round tool in the picture

I use a set of vise grip needle nose smaller size about 4 inch it works to pull the pin you are better served pushing the pin back through the hole in the shaft

@Sushi King

Alan Tani's URL has a few suggestions, but sadly they're down right now...

Make a puller with pliers and a dremel. Been using mine for years with no damage to spool.

Ernie has a set where you can buy all of this tools for a pretty decent rate. I highly recommend his products.
