Knee pin repair

[dortizjr1]

Hello,
I've followed the tutorial to remove knee pins and have tried reversing that process for restoring them into the knee socket. It's not working well. I'm using the 12 inch knee pin repro parts from Doc Mego. Does anyone have experience doing this?

Here's an old thread about that topic,hopefully it helps.http://megomuseum.com/community/show...ht=12+knee+pin

Thanks for the link to that thread. I've tried the suggestions in there and no dice so far. The most successful thing was keeping a really thin nut tool on the opposite side and tapping on the other end with a hammer and driver... how ever it never ever clicks into place and I end up ruining the heads of the pins.
This is in the 12 inch muscular leg. It does seem that the knee bushing or what ever it's called might be too thick or deep for these repro knee pins.
