I am attempting to replace a seats adjustment handle [entire piece). At the no of the assembly there is a rivet at the pivot point. What are my options to remove it?
Or would I be better off trying to find a whole assembly with the handle already attached from someone out there? If so does someone out there have one they would like to get rid of. Thanks in advance. Attached thumbnail(s) |

Nevermind, I thought you were asking about the rivets that hold the seat handle to the rail.

I want to replace this whole piece also, has anyone taken this whole piece out and replaced it (not just the handle)? Anyone know what type of rivet needed to install this whole piece at the pivot point towards the back of the rail?

Figured it out. Press fit rivet cap on one end of a solid metal pin. Drilled the rivet cap off and tapped the pin out. Easy to reinstall the pin fits tight and probably doesn't need another rivet cap on re-install, just some grease.

The big problem with these are the drivers side. I would suggest if you reinstall you swap the two handles as they are pot metal and do fatigue. This will buy you more time.
