I don't have access to the book from work, but do they address the part numbers on the first page or so of the manual? I'm guessing on this but it might be there. I also seem to think I remember that there is a nut in the end of the shaft that you tighten to put more force on the system. Kind of like pushing on the end of the crank with your hand but using the threaded nut to hold the pressure.
If you look into the end of the hole where you put the crank, is there a nut at the bottom of it? I'm thinking part # 13 in the picture.
As far as pins being removed I'm assuming you're talking part # 16. I would imagine that pin does need to be removed to be able to partially disassemble and tighten. Typically these pins are either tapped out with a small hammer and punch, or grabbed with a diagonal cutters and pried out. Be careful if the pin is a hollow roll pin (split pin) as if your punch is not large enough it will drop inside the pin and just spread the sides making it harder to remove.
I know there are others on here who have been down this path, so hopefully you'll get some more ideas soon.
Also if you do find access to a nut to tighten down, be careful as the torque value is possibly inch pounds not foot pounds.(12 inch pounds - 1 ft lb) so there is a big difference between 144 inch lbs (12 ft lb) and 144 ft lbs. :)
