When I did mine I think I remember that the pins were already very slightly wider than the holes in the plates, or at least the same size which is why you have to use the tool to force press the plate over the pins. The flareing of the pins that is needed is almost unmeasurable. I still don't trust it and cant help myself in checking that the plate is in place before a ride.
I don't do rain or threat there of. dry rider only with no shame.
