I think you should check out the thread by kup earlier:
http://www.otca.com.au/boards/showthread.php?t=7167
part of it tells you how to strengthen the pin joint (which is basically pull out the pin and coat it the inner entrance with a thin layer of superglue, although I dont know how general this method is since I have no experience)
then there's also this thread by lint:

particularly the post by lcz128 (post #7) as that has a useful link
also found this page to be quite useful:
