My seat rails are pretty fugly. They are solid and operate flawlessly. Bushings in good shape with no cracking observable. The paint, however, is the opposite of good. I'd like to get these cleaned up repainted or powder coated.
My concern and caution is that if I take the spring's retaining pin out then I won't be able to get it reassembled. Can anyone share a method to R&R that retaining pin and spring, hopefully not needed a shop press?   Thank you, Sean |

@seanpaulmc
Get a metric roll pin punch to remove and install the roll pin I use a small punch 2mm or 1/16" to pry the spring over the installed roll pin. Sometimes need a flat blade screwdriver to snap the loop down on the pin. The pin can not protrude too far through or it does not work. I have to do another one soon and will snap a few pictures |
