The pin may have a pin lock engagement hole shaped to engage with the pin lock as it is inserted through the aperture of the collar. The fastening system may be used in a wear member assembly. The wear member may have a side opening in communication with a cavity formed on one end of the wear member. The side opening may have a collar lock engagement hole. The collar may be inserted into the side opening so that the collar lock engages the collar lock engagement hole. Methods and assemblies thereof.
