2) does any one know why the pin sticks in the first place, is the pin at fault , the housing, or would taking it apart and lubing it up with graphite help
Thanks

Hi Mongoose, I had my Crossfire towed once by AMA (Alberta's version of AAA). They asked me what kind of car it was then sent a flat bed, like they would for an expensive sports car. Even if they hadn't, all tow trucks now place your wheels in a trolley rather than pulling them along the road. Nobody wants to be sued for messing up anything in your vehicle.
As for explanations as to what is happening with the pin and the most comprehensive instructions to remove or replace it you will ever see, look at the attached files and many thanks to rekcah
