Andrew,

Understood!

If I recall correctly, the pin on the Corsair II rebuild kit was a very small "roll pin". If yours is the same, gripping it with pliers and rotating it as you push it in may help; but you need to rotate it the correct way so that pin diameter decreases rather than increases .... if that makes sense :)

Steve - it appears to be a pin that's used only for analog rigs with a dial
cord.

This makes sense, as the instructions say:

29. On analog rigs -- turn tuning shaft fully CCW. Install pin in shaft and
reinstall dial cord.

I think I just need to persuade the pin to go about 1 mm further and it
should be strong enough for an anchor point for the dial cord.  I expect any
questions will be answered by the dial cord kit instructions -- that project
will start as soon as I button up the PTO.

Thanks,
--Andre
