Yes. Looking at the picture and video, it seems to me that the real issue is the hole size for the roller, which seems to be very large in comparison to the diameter of the shaft, and appears to be the location of the fracture, as opposed to the roll pin which is a much smaller hole just beyond the fracture point. Maybe the solution is to make the roller a smaller diameter ? with a new corresponding shaft ?
