A mobile construction machine comprises a pair of working components pivotally connected together by a pin. The pin has a first stop means secured on a first end thereof to prevent longitudinal movement of the pin in a first direction relative to the components and a second stop means releasably attached to a second end of the pin to prevent it from moving in the opposite direction. Upon removal of the second stop means from the pin, the pin may be removed from aligned bores formed through the components to disconnect the same. Upon reinstallation of the pin, a conically shaped self-centering member is attached to the pin in lieu of the second stop means to facilitate reinsertion of the pin into the bores formed in the components.
