My copy of a workshop manual has the spacer on the right hand side. (but that is a 2016 V7ii)
Well, I remembered the shim but not the correct side, right side or on shaft side. Had to look in book having my coffee & cigar in garage. Getting old ain't for sissies. Had my 1st bout w/Basil cell skin cancer, Dr cut it all out, size of quarter on cheek.
I would remeasure the pin and see if there is a burr or high spot. Easy to remove with a file or small block of wood and sand paper once you find it. A good clue is it's where it's starting to bind when it goes in. As an alternate method use a strip or sandpaper and sand around the pin like a old time shoe shine. That may expose any high spots or other issue. I sometimes chuck a part like that in the lathe and give it a quick polish after touching it lightly with a file. Key is to not remove any more than necessary.
Careful with that! To polish the pin, the threaded portion needs to be clamped in the lathe chuck. It would be easy to mash the fine threads on that pin, thus spoiling it
Yeah, you need to put it in a collet to do that. Sounds like it needs to be done, though. People that have never dealt with close tolerance fits don't really understand how little it takes to make an interference.
(apparently the 4th digit on my vernier caliper is just for show
.1mm is quite a lot of deformation on a part like that. I bet your friend barely touched it with the grinder. And really guys, we are trying to help people that do not have machine shops in their garage. Many people will have a vise and using soft jaws can easily hold a threaded pin to polish off a high spot.
So many questions. If it came apart, then it should reassemble by reversing the order of steps. Why did it not?
