Idler Arm & Shaft To Clutch Rod Pivot Arm

[Bach-Ed 170]

I needed to disassemble the brake/cluch linkage on my 857.   Am I missing something or do 2593 Clutch Rod, 5544 Parking Brake Lever and 3935 Brake Rod all need to be in place on 4899 Clutch Rod Pivot Arm  before I can struggle to align the holes with that of the 3950 Idler Arm Shaft to insert the roll pin?  I'm using up all my naughty words trying to get this back in place.  I'm hope someone can suggest a better way.  Or all you can do is extend your sympathies?

I know this is hindsight n all but in the above pic you will see a punch mark on the shaft & one on the arm. I have gotten in the habit of making these punch marks before I disassemble, it makes reassembly a bit easier.

I believe that all the linkage has to be in place before the roll pin is installed. PITA I know. Start your roll pin in the pivot arm, get your linkages on and slide the arm on to the shaft. Use a small drill bit or punch from the side opposite of where you started the roll pin and get the roll pin hole lined up. Should be able to drive the pin in at that point.

Achto I will be careful to punch before disassembly and thank you for the other tips.

I always drill and tap the lever for a set screw.    Then I align the lever and rod hole with a small tapered punch,  tighten the set screw to keep the holes aligned, , and tap in the roll pin.
