  you need a tube of alloy, or a rod, about 12 inches or so long, with a hole in
the centre the same diameter as the pins. Slide the rod onto the pin and as
long as it is a good tight fit it will point in the direction of mis-alignment.
To re-align, simply use the rod to 'tweak' the pin until it lines up with the
torque tube - can be done by eye quite easily.
