Never had to do that myself, but I've heard it from people here who I trust.

Very true Yosemite Sam! I have one set up that way on one of my 129's and it has held for the last 4 years without any problems.

Great advice Todd. The pins are there for a reason--as weak points in the drive line that are intended to shear when the drive line is stressed so that pins could be replaced instead of more expensive parts. Putting a bolt in can be used in a pinch, but should not be used for a permanent fix.
