Trigo pin alignment tool

I was planning to use the tool as a preventative measure. Place it on the pin outer edges and then torque the pins down. Should hold everything in place.

If they ever get out of alignment, tap them back in place with a mallet.

I took all mine off when I had the disc turned. When I put them back on and tried to mount the wheels, I had a heck of a time. So I bought the alignment tool I think from Performance Unlimited. It's was a pain to use as you have to bend the studs into place after torquing them down by using a long pipe. So I called Phil at PSE ( thats the type of wheels I have) and he said to just rotate the wheels till they go on. Most of the time it should work and it did for all of mine.

It doesn't take more than a 1/16" of an inch (or less) to have them out of alignment. You can also mushroom the ends of the pins if you overtighten, and once that is done no alignment tool is going to help you. The tolerances are tight because they have to be.

I got these Lifetime Upgraded Pin Drive nuts for my SPf from David Kirkham,

Just measure the angle of the old pin drive nuts and they will make a set of hardened stainless steel replacements. They are indestructible.
I used blue loctite and 80 Foot pounds.
