The linkage assembly includes a bell crank assembly including a bell crank and a bell crank pin. The bell crank pin (104) is movable from an activated position to a deactivated position. In the activated position, the bell crank pin couples the alignment pin pusher to the approximation mechanism such that movement of the approximation mechanism causes movement of the alignment pin pusher (34) from a retracted position to an advanced position. In the deactivated position, the bell crank pin (104) is moved to a position to uncouple alignment pin assembly from the approximation mechanism.
