You can dimple the edges of the pin, near the circumference of its hole, so that it doesn't slip out. A punch and a hammer is all you need.
Link pins are made in two sizes .154" and .156" to use the larger the hole should be reamed with the correct reamer. That's just information for what it's worth. I would suggest that you stake the pin in place by staking on the edge of the barrel side of the hole where the lug is strongest. Once in the frame it can't come out, but I don't like the idea of it dragging either.

thanks guys...
what i dont like is hunting on the concrete floor for an hour with a flashlight cause i didnt realize it was going to fall out when i wasnt looking.
will lightly stake the pin.
happy thanksgiving!
When staking, it's a good idea (IMHO) to remove the link's side-to-side slop with a snug fitting feeler gauge. This reduces the stress on the lower standing lugs and prevents bending them closer together.

good point, understood, and thanks. will get something in there.
The shim will also prevent the same thing when removing a tight pin - whether by pounding or pressing it out
