You can spike the pins in and they will not come out. They can move towards the center of the cap just a little and will be stopped. So it you spike them on the outer face after you drive them home they should not be able to back out.

It a pin fell out it is not enough to cause the bolts to break. You will either end up with a smashed pin or a broken gear tooth.

I still suspect over torque. You may have done it to specs but the bolts may not have been to specs. If they were repro bolts they may not have been the correct hardness.
