I replace all my axle pins with grade 8 bolts. I cut the head in half to clear the oil pan and then put it in and tighten it down enough to take all the slop out but not so tight the axle won't pivot. Once i have it set where I want it I then cut the bolt and nut enough to clear the mule drive, once that's done I put a tack weld on the nut to keep it from loosening. Sounds like a lot of work but with the proper tools It can be done in about 10 minutes.
