Did you make it yourself?I have a tool that made attachments for pressing pins in and out. The linegear type one seems a bit cumbersome.

Do you have pics or is it a closely guarded secret? Do you offer a tune up service to international members nobody in the UK seems to do it I know the xman does tune ups for a friend of mine seems like a service in high demandI started with a tool I owned already and made attachments for it for pressing pins in and out
@zwc0442 Thanks for educating on the pin, as you mention if the pin isn't align straight the lip pin would fall off. Seem like it's really a gamble or matter of fact just luck to removed these. And still curious of the Oakley Official tools to removed the pin actually looks like.Doesn't look like the nose bridge hole has been damaged to me. Possibly they pressed the pins in not completely straight and sheared off part of the pin in the process. The pin will normally take damage before the titanium will. Also if they used oem pins its not the outside of the nose that retains the pin. Its the backside of the nose. There is a rib on near the back of the pin that retains the pin against the inside of the back side of the nose. I've had a few frames in tho that I've seen pins used that didn't have the rib on the pin and the pins were a bit oversized and damaged the backside of the nose bridge to the point oem spec pins would no longer hold. Not sure who the manufacturer of the pins were but then had to find oversized pins to put back in so they would stay secure. The photo of the pin that came out was probably stuck in the frame. Occasoinally when they were pressed in at the factory they weren't pressed in straight which shears off a small amount of the pin and makes a lip on the pin inside the nose causing the nose pin to become stuck in the nose. About every 10 to 15 frames I take apart seem to have it happen. Not the fault of who was taking the pin out just happens with these sometimes.
Super brave to attempt on repairing the coupler, been reading your tread as well and everything seems to revolved on patients.It's the same one they sell but from aliexpress. There are a few threads about it. A few other member have them too.
Here's what I use. The attachments are getting a bit rough time to make a new set but works great for me. Easy to hold and you can feel how hard your pressing the pin back in. 2nd pic is pressing pins out. 3rd pic is pressing pins in.
