-Some (most) just knock the pins back in the drum with a hammer. And some pull add Loctite to the pins before knocking them back in. \\ 
-But if you pull the pin out to add Loctite, it'd be best to use it on the sides of the pin (not bottom or not in the drum holes). \\ 
-Then Loctite should remain in the nooks and crannies between the pin and hole but not in the hole center to block the pin from going home. \\ 
-If it gets in the hole center, it will hydro-lock the pin and not let it go all the way home. \\ 
-Keep in mind that hot Loctite may either let go or slide so that may either stop or slow down a moving pin . \\
