Default Dog Bone pin replacement

I need some info on replacing the pins in the dog bones. I have the Hudy pin drive tool which has always served me well. Today I tried to replace the dog bone pin on the center-rear shorty dog bone on my EB48.2. I used a Mugen pin (3mm x 12.8) and as you can see in the picture it split the end of the bone. Do these dog bones take pins smaller than 3mm? Or are you supposed to simply replace the whole unit instead of just the pins? The pins in the rear drive shafts should be replaced as well since they've become very flat, but I don't want to attempt it if the pins aren't meant to be replaced. I've probably replaced close to 100 pins in my previous Mugen, XRay and Serpent buggies and truggies and never had an issue until today. This is the first attempt at replacing pins in a Tekno vehicle.
