not possible. Also, stock hinge pins are too weak. Surrounding them with stronger parts won't help since the pins aren't captured. They're in simple shear. I strongly suggest you move up to 3mm pins whatever route you take.

I've been there, and I suggest you return the blocks to Mike if you want the RPM hubs , and pick up these blocks up instead...

FLM has nice stuff but I am at a loss as to why they chose nitro style hubs for the pede. Not worth the headache to me to convert everythign to nitro.
