Default How tight do your pins fit the holes?
OK the spinner removal tool works great, but, but, but, then removing the wheel from the pins????

Just how tight is the fit?
I got the pin-alignment tool from Trigo to set the pins right prior to mounting wheel, but the tolerance between the pins and the holes in the Compomotive wheels is so close, they are a bear to remove. (after fighting for two days, I still can only get the right rear wheel on with only four pins, if I put the fifth pin in, there is no way the wheel will go over all five pins)

Watching the Formula One, and Cart races this weekend (arn't they pin drives), the pit crews removed/replaced the wheels with ease. The tolerance on the pins/holes can't be as close as mine.

Anyone hone out the wheel holes to make the install/removal process easier?
