I'm new to this forum, this is my first post ! Need Help !

I recently purchased a G17 Gen 2 . This was a used Law Enforcement Hand Gun.
This G2 operates great and has a heavy 8.5 Lb. trigger pull. I have been on u-tube and watched a lot of videos in regards to disassembly . I have taken the slide apart and added a
6 Lb. striker spring and a lighter plunger spring.

I'm sure that I will have no problem installing the new 3.5 Lb. connector and 6 Lb. trigger
spring if I could get the frame disassembled .

I have tried many times to take out the main pin. I have pushed in both directions and have jiggled the slide release. I have pushed and taped with a hammer. I even set the frame on its side and sprayed the pin with WD40 and allowed it to soak in over-night ! I hope it wasn't put in with Loc-Tight !

Does anyone have any suggestions on removing this pin ?

Thanks !

Jim

Wiggle the slide stop forwards and backwards while pushing on the pin. No hammering!

The pin is grooved and it is probably being held by the slide stop, press it back the way it came to loosen the contact, then press on it with your tool or pin while wiggling the slide stop. I know you said you did that, but try again. No real force required, just pressure and movement to disengage the slide stop from the groove in the pin and let the pin slide through.

Inspect the pin and slide stop after you get done, it may have been damaged by the previous owner causing the problem you have now.

I have watched people do this on U-Tube, they just push it out with the Glock tool. I may have to take it to a Gun Smith ! I will keep trying ! Thanks

Its likely never been apart before. Keep wiggling for and aft.

Or move it up and down too.

Lay the frame on its side, with left hand finger and thumb wiggle the slide stop forward and back while pushing down hard on the pin.
You'll get it.

This is a constant problem for some Glock owners. Advice given in previous posts is good.
Photo to show how slide stop lever catches on the pin. The secret is to jiggle/ raise the slide stop lever until the pin is able to slide through the hole in the slide stop lever.

Place a fingertip under the tab that the mag follower would push up on while at the same time use the thumb to keep the external part of the slide stop down. This will cause the forward part of the slide stop that has the hole in it that the pin goes through to raise upwards. Push pin through.

Yeah, what he said up there ^.

That little spring leg wants to push the lever down and to the rear; you need to push forward (toward the muzzle) and pull UP a bit on the tab, while you wiggle it.

Sometimes saying "Shake it, baby!" really loud will help.
Well, it'll help anyone in earshot think you're a loon, anyway... :supergrin:

Be careful when using the Glock tool to push/guide the pins out of the frame. You don't want to enlarge/damage the pin holes. Easy does it and patience. Good luck.

Well, how did you do overnight?
P.S. put that damn hammer away!!!!!

I've found with my 22 and old 27 jiggling didn't help mine, i jest held it up a lil.

You really really should look at the exploded parts diagram and learn what Glock calls a part in its pistols. You have for the most part used made-up names. There are only 34 parts...not too much of an effort to learn the names of those you intend to use in your posting.

Also, you should be made aware that if your Glock is intended for serious use as a weapon, all those aftermarket do-dads and gee-gaws remove that possibility. The changes that your many years of Glock experience have lead you to believe are essential, apparently, should be placed only in range toys where functional reliability is of no importance.

Otherwise...welcome to Glock Talk.
