Mine Is an 08 and yes it's the same size diameter of yours. My son has a 10 and it works just fine for his. READ THE RECEIPT 3/16 with a beveled end will work😳

I do have a little rattle and its driving me crazy. May have to switch to 1/2 anyways and open up the links.
READ THE RECEIPT it says 3/16. If it is a lil tight bevel the end. Do this on both pins

And I bought everything like the OP receipt says to the UPC code even.
HELP!!!!!
Bevel the end of the pin to make sure it fits.

Will update here in about an hour.
Read the receipt it says 3/16. Bevel it to make it easier.

Talkin down? I don't think so buddy. If that's the way you see it then I'm sorry but I'm not talking down on anyone here. Just answering question so don't be offended. I'm glad it worked for you. Happy Trails!
