This is not intended as a negative comment toward TT but I was
somewhat surprised to see that they're offering what looks like a
generic roll pin as a replacement for the OEM pin on the ABA
distributor. But then from the looks of it, VW may not have intended
for that pin (the hall really) to be a replaceable part. By
comparison, the pin on my WBX distributor was MUCH easier to remove
and reinstall.

To help secure the pin in my ABA distributor, I put a wide taper punch
in my vice and with the tapered end (duh) in the pin I tapped on the
other end with another punch. Can't see any difference but presumably
this spread the end of the pin open a little. I did this at each end
of course.
