The pins must be absolutley straight and perfectly polished. I chucked my pins in a drill and polished the sh*t out of them. I also put a little chamfer on the corners as the ends of the pins are often slightly mushroomed. The pins should slide thru the floats and the float posts easily and smoothly, with evrything dry. You should not have to drive the pins into the post or use any amount of force to push the pins thru the floats. Personally, while its still cold, I would pull the rack and ensure that all of those pins are perfect. And everything is polished.
Also, I took a same sized drill as the pin, you will have to measure to the thousandth using a micrometer, and used the drill thru the posts and floats to clean them out. I used only my fingers to drive the drill, do not drive it with a machine. You are not trying to remove any additional material from the holes, just any old varnish that has collected. Any other method imho is not really fixing the problem.
When you re assemble everything make sure the pin slides completely thru both the posts and the floats all the way through. You will never have a problem with em sticking again. Rather do it right now than when it's warm out.
