Another cause of this problem (not mentioned in the other responses) is
that, if the bearing is not fully home in its retainer, it will rotate too
far out of alignment and make it 'impossible' for the flap drive pin to
engage.

bearing?

have seized and 2) without the flaps the wings plug in easily, with the
flaps it is a pig.

with.
