The hole that the cotter pin went through was to close to the bottom so we had to cut a small slot in the carry over tube to accommodate the pin. It did not effect performance at all. The grill is now fully operational again.The other thing and this is not the manufacturer's fault either, was the number of pages I had to review before I found just this part. Obviously Best Buy tried to upsell the replacement be having this part bundled with others in the beginning of the search even though I narrowed the scope of what I wanted at the very beginning
