I thought the pin and the magnet were one piece and the pin was supposed to spin as well, but I was sitting there scratching my head wondering how the pin was supposed to rotate when it was anchored with such snug rubber fittings.

Chalk that up to me being an idiot.

Again, can't say enough about Kelly's response.
