    503L front spindle problems looking for suggestions

    that is possible , I think the pin should stop the washers form turning and the cover plate I am thinking will hold the pin in place, however, at this point if there is a bolt out there with the right size head that pin can also hold bolt form backing off I would really like to just get it and...

    actual that is a good point it could be if there is a pin hole in the outer plate to prevent bolt form backing out. BUT wire tieing still should have held if the pin did and still think something pushing out to shear bolt off
