Question:
Should it be difficult to put the lynch pins in and out. Im tempted to tap it with a hammer...but thinking that is not a good idea. Is there a secret?

The lynch pins of the Swagman XTC2 Bike Rack part # S64670 should not be difficult enough to insert that you would need to use a hammer. If they are being that difficult to install then the holes of the rack must not be lined up properly. Try positioning the arms or the upright of the rack around so that the holes are lined up better before you insert the pins.
