The only measurement that you will need is to verify the overall length is correct. They must be exactly 7.2500" long from tip-to-tip. With regard to the diameter of the pin, if the oversized tip will go thru the bore of the Spindle Bolt, then there should be enough clearance. The issue I believe is, the pin is not staying in the center of the Spindle Bolt bore during the braking operation which is causing the edge of the pin's shank to gald. To me, this is a result of allowing the 90° arm on the end of the Brake Shaft (A-2076/77) to over-rotate which is pushing the Brake Operating Pin up against the bore of the Spindle Bolt, ...and that is causing the rub mark on the pin.
