The new pins should be 5/8" less a few thousandths for clearance (so maybe
.620"-.623").  If they are larger than that, you've got wrong or defective
trunnions, send them back.

If old ones were significantly smaller than that, someone in the past may
have tried to get by with worn pins by leaving the bushings in the A-arms
undersize.  They normally should be reamed after installation to .625".
