English term or phrase: master pin
Bonjour à tous

dans un manuel d'entretien et de dépose des chenilles, je ne trouve pas le terme de "master pin". Le contexte est le suivant:

To uncouple the track group the following the steps below:
1. Jack up the machine and block safely on firm, level ground.
2. Locate the master pin. This can be identified by small circular indentations, or by an X marked on each of the end faces.


Merci à tous
Anne

agree  Tony M: Yes of course for 'axe' — but surely 'master' here does indeed have the sense of 'master' or 'key', rather than 'main'? All these pins are 'the same', but this one is the key to all the others? What do you reckon?

neutral  Tony M: That's a quite different type of 'pin'; here we have a kind of 'pivot pin', so 'axe' is correct.
