I'm assembling a Moto Guzzi swingarm which attaches to the back of the gearbox.
The gearbox has 2 recesses in which live plain roller bearings. The swingarm
has threaded holes through which locating pins screw. The tips of the pins are
unthreaded and locate into the ID of of the roller bearings. Parts #12 here:

The pins are known for being stuck yet mine came out easily, probably because
the inner race was able to rest against the swingarm while the pin was being
pulled out. Assembly is another matter. The bearings don't bottom out in their
recess so the inner race has nothing supporting it when I screw the pins into
the swingarm, and one pin is not sliding into the inner race (the other pin
fits into both races as it should). I don't want to hammer on it and dent the
races. I've sanded it with some 400 grit but I'm pretty sure the pins are
hardened and so I haven't made any progress.
Any thoughts on how to get this pin to fit in the bearing? Freezing it is not a
great option because of the time it takes to get things installed, plus I'll
need to do clearance adjustments.
thanks,
jim
