Flange Center Friction Increase

[Mike Kurta]

    I've had good results using a small pocket file (we used to call them
ignition point files) to reshape one end of the pin to a bevel.  Then it
pushes back into the bushing with no tearing out.  No measuring and fishing
for a new pin or cutting to length.  Works for me....
