Looking to have my seat frames powder coated and need to remove the non-painted handle assembly as it contains plastic bushings that will melt at high temperature.

Any idea on the correct procedure and tools required for removal?

Bolted the seat rails to work table and used a wire and a turnbuckle to pull the spring back.

Its then easy to drive the pin in.

Ended up going with a variation on the theme, albeit a bit ghetto style.

An old shoe lace and a pry bar were the tools of choice here...worked like a charm.
