We noticed a very small hairline crack between the retainer bolt hole and the inside of the pin bore. There is approx. 3/16" of material there -- almost looks as though it cracked during the tapping of the retainer bolt hole or maybe from corrosion.... I take it this should be replaced or can they be welded and machined? There rest of the gimbal ring is perfect....
any advice?

And Arnesons don't either...yeah hello! 
When adjusting the fuel pressure be sure not to crimp the return line instead of just fixing the regulator...
The pins....get yourself a slide hammer.. Take out the 4 bolts and install the slide hammer in the tapped hole in the center of the pin and hammer it out. If it's stuck heat up the pin, spray it with PB Blast and let it sit until the SS shrinks back down, then use the slide hammer again... Go slow with the bolts that hold the pin in so you don't sheer them off inside the aluminum...

I am making a coupler nut that is female threaded for a 5/8 slide hammer on one side then has a female 3/8 thread on the other end. This way you can use a piece of 3/8 all thread to screw into the pins that are female, then screw the nut on itself for the pins that have 3/8 bolts coming out. Looks something like this http://www.fz09.org/forum/attachment...-25-9-12-8.jpg
I hope with heat and this tool they should come out.
