I'm afraid it's worse than that ... my suggestion is to return your
apparently defective sleeve to Moss and get one with the pin properly
installed. I believe it should be a solid, straight pin (not a roll pin),
and be pressed into place ... it's normally part of the sleeve and not
serviced separately.
