In a message dated 98-02-13 00:24:43 EST, you write: << In my opinion, the only problem with pushing the pin in and out of the bushing will only "ream" one bushing of the flange, right? The center pin has to cuts, one on each side. The rough jagged cut from the technician, and the smooth, unburred factory cut. Pushing the pin in and out of the bushings will only cause uneven wear. The best ways to go about it, in my opinion, of course, are: 1:denatured alcohol/H20 2:repin! >> Mike: The above proceedure will work about 50% of the time. The other 50% I do have to repin. But I try the first method first. It saves a lot of time, and I don't take a chance that the new pin will be too loose, or too tight. But thanks for the detailed report on how to repin. Willem Blees
