You can grind the ring gear teeth to fit the pin in. Doesn't take much.

Most grind the gears, but which ever removes less material and lets you get the pin out.
My gears came with instructions to grind two ring gear teeth.

Never heard of having to grind on the gears. IS this just for 4.88s? Or just because of using an open carrier?
