since there isn't any way to lube that clevis pin pivot point very easily or
at all with the stock arrangement........
it might be tempting to have them weld in a bearing .....
such that your pin would fit the inside diameter of the little bearing ,
thus avoiding the raw metal to metal contact of the stock arrangement.

either that or find a hardened pin.
or rig a drip tube for oil to run down to it once in a while, or something.
Spraying up in there hoping you hit 'the spot' helps some.
