Real short... To get the pin started I bought the shortest 1/4-inch grade 8 bolts my hardware had (1/4-inch I think) and I even added a second nut to the bolt and snugged it up with the head for added strength... That got my "G" pin out!
I bent a slightly longer bolt (based on below I think it was 3/4-in long Grade 8) and my pin didn't budge! Also, make sure you wear a safety shield wen fighting with these pins and using these bolts as I would hate to thing what that bolt could do to an eye with over 10-tons of force on it
Barrel pins are the one time when I get everything lined up and snugges up and I put on the safety shield and stand back as the force on those pins is just awsome!
