any one else had trouble with these? Gonna try a whole new unit see if it holds up.
 
I don't guess I have ever seen one break THERE before. and as far as pin, are you talking about the E-clip that holds the weights on? if so, you can get those from Lowe's in the hardware dept.
 
I wonder if a dab of Loctite or thread locker would retain it? You might want to use blue, though, so you can extract the pin if need be. (Now you have given me something else to worry about... :p )

I didn't think that that pin should be able to come out if you have the retaining nut tightened all the way down. It's not falling all the way through is it? if so, new bushings would help. After looking at mine, I can not figure out how yours is falling out:umm:
