He means using a bolt to squeeze the channel back together and the putting a pin back in.

For what it's worth I always just replace the pins with a grade 8 bolt, even if you shim it its still just c channel and its going to spread more. You need to buy an 8" long bolt so it has a long shoulder to avoid the axle riding on threads, once its installed and tightened to your liking just cut off the extra.
