Default Rust removal?

Come on guys, those pins are 10 times stronger than they need to

inside (duct-taped together) as I remove them they pick up just
enpough lube to shove them home.

Hey JJ - any reason to be concerned about the tightness of the fit of
the pins in the bushings? I'd think you wouldn't want a shimmy in
