Started thinking about alternate methods of addressing the pin failure issue in drill gearboxes. I don't have the right tools or parts to do this quite as I'd like but the concept is there. For the pin to loosen it'd have to either strip all the threads, those in the carrier plate itself and on the nut behind, or somehow loosen despite the counter-tightening and loctite. I used regular ungraded m4 bolts for this, so on this particular prototype there's an added risk of the pins bending, but with some better materials I think this is viable. As viable as the ballpeen method mentioned earlier, anyway. And for the average Joe, probably easier, as the parts needed are less specific.

edit: and yes of course, chances are those nuts will foul in a drill gearbox, but again, I was just trying to distract myself for a while!
