In this video I use a round file to *slightly* open the undersized orifice to allow the hammer pin to be removed as OEM intended.
As shipped… There was so much friction at the shelf that HAMMERING on it would not dissociate the parts. After rubbing it with the file just a tiny bit…. It’s a perfect “tap fit”
It’s not a slip fit, you do have to hit it with a hammer… So if there was an intention to have the pin not slop side to side, that was still be the case. I removed tiny amount of material.
NOW… We can get on to a full-scrub detail
