What you'll need:

1. One worn door stay mechanism. If you own a 914, you probably have two.
2. A bench vise, bolted to a bench.
3. Replacement door stay and replacement rollers. (Here's the shameless plug -- I have these available for sale.)
4. Blade screwdriver for removing and replacing springs and clips.
5. Wheel bearing grease.
6. Eye protection.
7. 20 minutes.

OK, the first step is to remove your door stay mechanism from the door. I won't cover this step here. It's pretty simple, but if necessary, refer to this article on the Pelican Parts website. Install the mechanism in the vise, clamping on the door stay itself.
