Crank
Don't know about the life of a roll pin versus a dowell pin in this application, but you're probably right about the dowell pin being better for a 50-year life. I can say I've have had no problems in the year or so I have used mine. However even it it fails it is pretty easy to replace the pin and as an added bonus a roll pin will stay put whereas a dowell pin requires more prescision in the hole diameter and should be heat shrunk in or knurled and pressed for best retention.

There are several listed on e-bay right now. You can almost always get one for under $25 there.

If you can't fix it with a hammer, you've got an electrical problem.

I just mentioned the dowel pin cause the crank I made about 5 years ago has been used extensively with no negative signs. I just used a 3/16 reamer and pressed the pin in (dowel is ground o'size for press fit). It's case hardened for better wear. I agree a roll pin would be easy to replace.....................

Solvent for parts washer
I bought a parts washer from Harbor Freight for ~$30 that specifically said not to use any petroleum based solvent. The pump was plastic. They sell some water based stuff for about $5 per gallon that seemed to work reasonably well.
