Reply to "rear upright rebuild"

Hi - a very late response - When you did the rebuild did you have to replace the tiny retaining pins in the uprights base that contain the face washer from rotational movement on the lower pivot shaft? I have a couple that are pretty well gone and it appears that the only way of removal is drilling them out - they are well stuck in there. You cannot pull them out.  Has anyone done this ? I have sourced new pins for the job .

I like the new face washers from Wilkinsons - they seem to have a high slip coating on the outside contact face of the washer which was not on the old hardware. Should reduce the rotational drag on the face retained face washers and the wear and tear on the retaining pins.
