Here is my experience with replacing the pins and bushings. I did not have a engine hoist to hold the door up so I just built a platform out of 2x4s - worked well for me.

I remember reading your thread. The splined end of the pins I have are not much greater than the diameter of the rest of the pin. Going to give these ones a try and if needed I can turn down the splined part a hair.
The 2x4 platform looks like a good idea. I saw another post where a guy did the same thing but made a saddle to fit his floor jack, and arms on the side to keep the door from falling over.
