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 |

And be careful. There are two things on these cars that are possessed by the devil and feed their blood lust with your digits. One is the well-known rear trunk torsion bars. The other is these roll pins. Don't let them bite you.
