I'm rebuilding my first set of flippers. I am finding that the linkage head is super tight and almost impossible to rotate. What's the best way to loosen up the hole? I bought the kit from Marco

When I open up that hole do I want to make just enough clearance so it moves freely? I tried using the original piece but it has too much play and is not showing the flippers to dead bounce.

OP
Quoted from vid1900:
It should have no play, and move freely.

Thanks for the feedback!
