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?

If you look at my build thread, post #29.
I used a turnbuckle to pull the spring and hold it while driving the pin in.
