Associated 7665 axle pins wrong in manual?

Needed some new axle pins so ordered up some 7665 as shown in Rere manual. What showed up were 10GT pins and are too big by far. Am I missing something, I know I will order smaller ones (7369 perhaps) but is manual wrong?

7665 is the roll pin for the slipper on a GT. They must have got their numbers mixed up, the diameter should be correct but they are really long. 7369 is what all the older kits used for drive shafts, and what I would recommend

I just bought a couple sets of RC10 cva's and they both came with the wrong shims and pins lol.

well according to the website...
https://www.teamassociated.com/parts/details/7665-ASC7665-drive_shaft_roll_pins/

It appears to be the correct part number. Wouldn't put it past them to have actually packaged the wrong part in the right bag or put the right part in the wrong bag.

If it was a NIP thing, I'd email them. If you have the receipt, I'd think they'd help you out. They've been exceptionally helpful when I've dealt with AE support.

As I mentioned above, the pins are actually for a GT. I think they just got it wrong in the manual. If you look in a B2 or other manual which uses the 3/16 axle it's the more common 7369 pin. It wouldn't be the first mitsake they made in the rere manual.

7369 was the answer. There is no way the GT pins were going to work.
