The problem with the hinge pins/a-arms is the molding is such that the holes in the two sections of the A-arms that pivot on the pin don't line up. The pin will be free in each half individually but when you put it through both halves it binds. Been this way since the 8 1.0 on all the a-arms I have used. I use a 1/8" chain saw file going through both holes at the same time to remove the binding.
