Now I can't get the threaded pin to start, since the threads are buggered up.
Crap happens. Don't feel too bad about it 'cause everyone screws up once in awhile. I've had my share of 'em.
If you know the thread pattern of the pin hole you could clean up the threads with a tap (chasing the threads) to see if that makes it easier to install the pin. From the video it looks like the pattern might be 6-32 but I can't say for sure. Might be metric M3 :confused: Put some blue Loctite on it when you install a new pin. Good luck!
I refuse to be victimized by notions of virtuous behavior.
