Broken Schwinn Kickstand

[Robertk]

Does anyone have a suggestion on how to remove this broken kickstand pin? I’m familiar with removing Schwinn kickstands, but there’s not enough of the pin sticking out to grab. Suggestions?

you have to push the ring in to take the pressure off the pin, then a magnet or gravity will get it out. They generally aren't in there tight, just held in place by the spring tension. But first some WD-40. I use large channel locks to compress the ring. Just bought a schwinn kickstand tool but I don't think it would work with that broken off kickstand.

Like Rick said. ^^^ If you can't push it with pliers, then use a thin wall socket or a piece of tubing to press on the collar.

Thanks Rick,

I can get the channel lock method to work releasing the tension, the pin won't fall out. Going to try to clean it with WD 40, see if gravity works, then use a magnet if needed. Will circle back with the outcome. Thanks all!

Used a magnet to get the somewhat mangled pin out just enough to grab it with some needle nose pliers. Success!
