Jim,

I got some .25" aluminum tube about 12" long from the hardware. I and 
slipped over the pin and "eyeballed" it.  My pins were definitely bent and I 
had a couple of goes at getting the parallel to the torque tube.

This exercise improved things a lot, but I still find one side a little 
tight.
