I use the mugen tool for replacing dog bones, great tool and very easy to use.
For a Losi 8ight I use the: HUD106050 Hudy 3x14mm Drive Shaft Pins.
You can also purchase a replacement pin driver for this tool if you damage it.
I have found it helps to use a dremel cut off wheel to cut of a worn pin near the dog bone joint prior to trying to remove it.

The tool insert (both the pin remover and pin inserter) are made of material that is just not strong enough. I have broken the remover (the one with the pin built in) twice and the inserter once. Some dogbone pins are very tight and with the Mugen tool there is a chance that the tool insert skips off the pin and damages the end that pushes the pin.

I use the one from rcrenew.com
I've been using it for almost a year. It's half the price of the hudy, and does not use a hammer. Just 3/4 inch and 1/4 inch box wrenches, which are really common in most people's tool box. (real tool box, not rc tool box lol) It can also be clamped in a vice in lieu of the 3/4 inch wrench. Simple. Effective. Doesn't work-harden the pins or the dog bones by pounding on them.
It's paid for itself several times over. He also sells pins that are high quality.
Biggest reason to use it:
MADE IN THE USA. BY AN AMERICAN COMPANY.
