for many years when i put a cotter pin in i put the eye as close as i could to center and bent the legs.. some time later when i had to take it back out i had problems. just dawned on me the other day to install them with about 1/8 of play. months later it was easy to get them out. it may not be the correct way, i will do it from now on. this old dog can still learn a new trick. ;~}
