Are these know to cause a lot of problems. My pins are very difficult to release every time I need to change out the bucket for the forks. Are there any ways to maybe tap them for a grease fitting? I keep them oiled but within a month they are normally moved by a hammer to the bottom to release them.

My bobcat has grease zerks on the pins. Mine still was stiff. So i removed the pin and ground a slight groove in the pin to align with the grease zerk. That alowed the grease to get around the pin and really helped my issue.
