We have 140 hrs and 250 landings, removal of cowl havs been done lots of
times on HRII N561FS. We had the same problem at the start but with flight
time the eyes and hinge pins have "adjusted" to each other. In another
coupla years they could become too loose. At that point we'll just get new
pins. We used a battery powered drill motor to spin and insert the pins when
they were "new". The joint is still tight but the pins go in and out with
just a little bit of effort. Have not used the drill to remove or re-insert
the pins in more than a year. Do Not Archive. KABONG (GBA) 8*)

The best lubricant I have ever found for hinge pins, and any
other item that needs a little help sliding is Tri-Flow spray lubricant.
It is available at any Ace hardware store, in a black spray can with
orange lettering.
It is a Teflon depository spray which penetrates like WD-40,
dries clear and tack-free, and then after drying leaves a Teflon coating
that is greaseless and does not attract dust the way any oily lubricant
will.
First used it on a Pitts Special 1-place canopy that was very
difficult to open--aluminum-on-aluminum sliding rails. Two hands on
each side of the canopy had to work closely together to get this #$%@$
to slide.
After spraying the rails with Tri-Flow, one hand could just slam the
canopy back and forth. Same story with my sliding screen patio door
tracks. Works even better on cowling hinge pins. Spray the hinge
sections and the pin, and I can almost guarantee your pin problems will
be gone. Stuff is amazingly long-lived---my patio doors still slide
great after a year.
