I pulled my 70s Mauser with the SE/08 kit installed today to fiddle with the kit's extractor, which wasn't pulling the empties out of the chamber last time I used it. I was intending to clean out its area and dress the claw, if necessary. (I succeeded only in locking all of the related parts into the breech block somehow, but that's another story.) The corresponding axle in my slightly earlier kit is a press fit. The rear pin is the only one that slides out. It can do this because once installed, it is captivated by the barrel extension, while the other two present open ends--thus the press fit for them. Looks like you'll need a slightly larger pin that will bind enough to stay put.
