9 1/4” gear change

[Lance Holloway]

I am changing rear 4:10 gears to more highway friendly 3:55 gears in my 9 1/4” rear axel. I removed the slide pin set screw easily. To remove the slide pin I had to beat it out of the sure grip. In any video or instructional information that have I read, this is not normal.
Once removed I am unable to even start it back into the sure grip.
Any suggestions or information would be greatly appreciated
Thanks in advance

.....Once removed I am unable to even start it back into the sure grip...........

If it's a cone, here's some rebuild info that may be some help.
The 9-1/4 SG I had the pin was a slip fit.

I was able ti remove the screw easily.
The shaft had to be beat out.
It should slide out
Not sure what is wrong

I figured it out today.I noticed the hole in the sure grip didn’t look round so I loosened the bolts holding the case together and spun it a hair.
Now the shaft slides in and out easily.
I will definitely make sure to torque them.
