That is a lot of words.
I recommend "blue" loctite as it is removable, and the pin will be also; way easier than many of the original pins that folks "cuss" about.

No use making something easy a "production"! JMHO.

If one needs to remove a loctited pin, a little heat from a hair dryer will make it even easier.
As to whether it "will have to come out" in future, maybe -maybe not, but loctite will not appreciably alter the removal by a proper size punch.

Like I said- BLUE, not red or green or purple- those are for other purposes.

GT's method will work fine also, if the pin is relatively soft; the pin in question may be from a hardened stock- like a drill bit, they don't upset well at all.

I never recommend a fix, unless I have used it successfully myself.

Default better, best?

It makes me wonder, do you fellows think lok-tite better than superglue? I used tons of lok-tite when a marine mechanic, but when racing cross country snowmobiles, we drilled and safety wired EVERY thing on the chassis and suspension?... Even factory nyloc nuts couldn't be trusted.... always a better way me thinks.... My biggest problem with the adhesive route, is I can't even stand to watch paint dry! I have to mess with it until I've defeated all the good properties I was trying to impart?.... ... best to all, til...lat'r....GT....
