7.Insert the blow gun tip into the shear pin hole, blow out the hole with compressed air, then put a drop of oil in the hole.
8.Insert the new shear pin into the bore, as shown in Figure 132.
Note: If the pin does not freely slide into the bore, DO NOT use a hammer on the pin or you may permanently damage the shear mechanism and bore, which would make it nearly impossible to remove and install a new shear pin later.
Instead, take the time to carefully line up the two bores. You may need to file a slight chamfer on the end of the pin to make it easier to insert.

9.With the pin completely seated in the bore and the head flush with the leadscrew shoulder, slide the shroud washer against the shoulder, then rotate the washer 180° to completely cover the head of the shear pin, as shown in Figure 133.
