The other issues is the pin is in my opinion a little short for the job.


Bob, I don't know how much trouble you want to go to on this job, but you
might consider reaming for a taper pin.

That's probably the best idea yet for the next time it fails. A tapered
solid pin will be stronger, and it has the advantage of being able to be
tapped out. As opposed to a solid dowel Loctited in place that would also
require heat to knock out. It was already all back together with another
under engineered spring pin when I posted, but as I said before I expect it
to fail again.

Thank you.
