Anyone else in this same boat? Any other option parts that will last longer/better?
SCT 1.0 and 2.0, 22 2.0 and 3.0 - have not lost a pin yet.
I have seen some use couple of layers of shrink tubing to try to keep the pin in, but really, that pin should not be coming out with enough torque and thread lock.
Folks mention cleaning everything before assembly. I have actually not even done that. And, like mud, I too put some black grease in there.
