Is the stock hardware supposed to fit the HR aluminum carrier? The pin that connects it to the A-arm is so tight I had the hammer the hell out of it to get it through and I can't even imagine getting that pin out again. I've only done one side so I'm thinking of drilling out the other. This is nuts. Any ideas?
 
Now I have a problem with the rear chassis brace. I cannot move the pin in or out, nor turn it left or right. Everything was going well and it just stopped turning. It's not like it got gradually harder to turn either. It just became stuck. I've pretty much stripped out the hex head Any ideas on how to get this out?

Have you tried a pair of vise grips or needle nose vise grips to try and back it out?

I ended up throwing it in the freezer for an hour and then I was able to pull it out with vice grips. I then had to drill out the hole in the mount so it would fit. Hot Racing quality control is pretty bad based in the products I bought.
 
That is odd because all of the hr parts I installed were all excellent. Glad to hear you were able to get it out.
