Help with Input shaft pin

[zeropointbug]

That's true that it will make it stronger, but how strong does it have to be?

What size allen key did you use? And drill bit size?

Actually I shouldn't say that.... :005:

Have you checked out my Quark heatsink thread? To big?! :005:

I started out by using a small nail....actually drove it down inside the existing hollow pin. It eventually failed. Then I spent the next couple of days disassembling my maxx tranny and doing it the right way. You ask how big does it (the pin) need to be....well there is definitely a balance-afterall you don't want to weaken the shaft.

I ended up using a 2mm hex key...but bear in mind that it did take a little bit of gentle grinding to get it to fit in the hole. I think I used a 5/64 drill bit.

like ssspconcepts i also did this mod but i have yet to try it. but it seemed to work good and it is strong.

i used 5/64 and sanded a tad off and pressed it in using channel locks.
