DC 10 Engine Seperation

Wasn't the DC 10 engine separation issue connected with changing the wing engines using a fork lift, which imposed some unexpected stress or strain on the shear pins and the engine either fell off when it shouldn't ... or stayed on when it should have fallen off ??? and did some unexpected damage on the way.
