Installing a new rear toggle link

You need to explain a little more.
Are you talking about the Link or the pin?
Yes, pins (and the holes they go into) are "sized", normal and one or two over size diameters.

I doubt you can reduce the diameter of the pin accurately(no way to hold it), and you would need a reamer of the precise pin size to enlarge the holes.

Sounds like your "new" pin is an oversize one.

Why are you changing/replacing it ?

And there are people selling the O/S pins on eBay without noting that they are O/S...(Yes, I have first-hand experience)...So if you do buy one, get one from a reputable Luger parts dealer...
