Yes, I have always used a specially thinned socket to remove the nut and shear the split pin.
Interesting. But doesn't that leave the stub of the split pin to be squished (technical term) by the thread of the nut? How can it shear the pin neatly at the surface of the stub axle? The split pin protrudes to the outside dimension of the nut, if you can follow me.
Cheers, Geoffrey
