Lightly tap on the pin with a punch. The pivot pin SHOULD come out of the detent and move easily. Either the holes are off a little from the upper to lower, One of the holes is undersized/ pin oversized or the detent hole in the pin is too deep. Any of these is possible with an [puke] Oly. It might fix it's self once you take it apart a few times and break it in alittle..

Most of the aftermarket pieces are stiff in that area. They seem to need to have the finish rubbed off a bit before that pin will move freely. I usually just put some oil around the joint lines, let it soak in for a few, then use a plastic punch I keep around to bang it out. After you do that a few times, it gets easier[:D]

Use a plastic punch. If you push the pin open and closed enough it will get loose and easier to do.

I agree with shamayim, a little oil usually helps as the anodizing will absorb this and aid lubricity. I prefer them tight rather than loose.

the more you clean, the looser they become.
