The method may then include providing a pin having a hollow body, the hollow body having a diameter with a profile with a pattern of voids. The method may then include applying an axial force on an end of the hollow body to cause the diameter of the pin to reduce in size to a point where the diameter of the pin is less than the inside diameter of the article. The method may further include aligning the pin inside of the bore of the article, and then removing the axial force on the end of the hollow body. 116.-. (canceled)17. A method of inserting a pin in a bore of an article comprising the steps of:providing an article with a bore, the bore having an inside diameter;providing a pin having a hollow body, the hollow body having a diameter with a profile with a pattern of voids, the hollow body having an end;applying an axial force on the end of the hollow body to cause the diameter of the pin to reduce in size to a point where the diameter of the pin is less than the inside diameter of the article;aligning the pin inside of the bore of the article; andremoving the axial force on the end of the hollow body.18. The method as claimed in claim 17 , wherein the step of removing the axial force causes the diameter of the pin to increase.19. The method as claimed in claim 17 , further comprising the step of providing a fixture claim 17 , the fixture has a driver that applies the axial force on the end of the hollow body.20. The method as claimed in claim 17 , wherein the pin is made by:providing a sheet of metal,stamping a pattern of shapes into the sheet of metal, androlling a stamped sheet of metal into a cylindrically shaped structure.21.
