What the best method for staking the pins in my elevator trim hinges?

Just don't do what my neighbor advised me to do and try to stake them with a punch. I made a mess of mine. Ed Downs of Skystar advised just making a 90 degree bend at each hinge pin end. Maybe John McBean will give us an input here.

Assuming you are not going to remove the pins for inspections etc. A
recommended method at Lancair is to cut the pin a little short. Insert it
so it is short on both ends in the hinge and then just tap the end a bit
with a hammer to creat a crimp.

I drilled holes in the hinge, cut the pens short, and safety wired them
for ease of removal.

Sorry for the delay guys.. Been out for a few days...

I have done this a couple of ways: Shorter pin and crimped the hinge end ,
Shorter pin and drilled the hinge to be safetied, Longer pin with a bend...
They all worked but I liked the drilled hinge the best so far.... Tried the
same on the door hinge and installed a stainless wire with 2 bent 90's to
keep in place.

I use hitch pins in the hinges on the doors. That way I can remove them
in a minute or so.
