Abstract
Movement of rollers used for reforming an inner wall of a metal container bottom such as an aluminum beverage container is controlled at least partially using a rigid link coupled to other components of a reformer apparatus by a pin having a stepped profile. The stepped-profile pin preferably defines first and second shoulder regions. Undesired spaces or gaps in the pin-axial or thrust direction are reduced or eliminated by closely-positioning bushing flanges or thrust washers adjacent the shoulders.
