After removing the mini codder pin, that one of the pins on Bendix calipers is marred off at the top now from my monkeying.

I can't put the little pin in. I'm guessing this means I need new calipers.

It took me quite a bit of force to get the pins out. Can i safely pound it back in and use some type of glue to lock it in place so I can just dump the caliper at a later date for replacement?

You might be able to locate new/used one, your calipers may be fine.

The cotter pin may be overkill anyway, so I would think you can use the current one for now.

Thanks, unfortunately junk yards are a joke around here. The one I went to for a fender had a 240D with 47,000 miles on it. Engine and trans were long pulled. Apparently it has been there for eight years. Guy tried to charge me 60$ for a combination stick. I laughed and said I can get a new one for that much online.

I'll pound it back in and drop some thread locker at the very tip. Probably won't do anything, but the amount of rust on those pins will ensure that it's not going to fall out.
