@Percy posted: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 .
When I rebuilt my uprights, three of the four washers had been rotating and wore the pins down to nubs. I found the right-sized pins and had a machinist car buddy of mine drill holes for the new pins. I ground down what was left of the old pins and ground the new pins down to below the surface of the new washer.
