The trick here is to open the arms of the flange so the new pin will go through the flange. Pick the pin size the fits properly in the bushings. You might want to go to Schaff anyway and get a dozen flanges because I have had the old ones split when opening them up. You should also have a few around for future use. You only need to open them up about 15 or twenty degrees. Newton
