Hi everyone,
Alba a1 shaper,
I am replacing the pivot pin at the bottom of the yoke. it is a 1.1/4", I have brought some en24t of the correct size and cleaned the out side surface from when it was made or stored, but I have found when I am trying to put it through the casting it is extremely tight, I know it has to be a snug fit, so I have measured the old one and found the new one has a14 thou bigger diameter, although it does go in to The Casting with difficulty I'm worried it may break the Casting would it be advisable to remove the pin before I go too far in and turn it down?
Many thanks for the advice
George

14 thou interference will break the casting for sure. I'd go for a light press fit and use Loctite. Perhaps relieve the middle a couple of thou so you don't squeeze out all the Loctite completely.
