I have hard time installing the spring that goes around the pivot pin. Any special tools/technics? TIA.

you gotta cram it in there. i line it up with a #2 phillips scewdriver and , with the peg folded back to compress the spring, massage the pin into place.

i noticed on my '03 the pins are not tapered at the ends. i dunno when they started doing that, but it helps alot.

i did the trick with a round piece of wood that is just cut tho the size of the top to lower hole of the peg (with the spring installed in place) then i just tapped it with the pin, and it was dead easy.

The pegs from Precision come with that piece that Pontlee used already in place, makes life easy.

I'm going to try the wooden dowel idea this weekend. Thanks all for your input.

Lube the pin with some grease. This makes it easier to slide the pin in.
