I don't recall seeing this before. Just to be clear, you took the pin and spring out from under the housing cover you had to distort/pound/center punch the cover to get off? But then you drove a bolt back in where this pin was? If I am reading correctly the stationary bolt is now in a place where there used to be a spring tensioned pin, if so then things would act flaky. Did you take pics?
