Cajun's '59 CJ5 Resto

The pins are hardened "Roll Pins". They are not hard to replace. You need to make a careful observation as to which end of the roll pin is the tip so to speak. Roll pins have one end that is contoured slightly so the pin doesn't "bite" as it is pressed in. One end is more flat and that is the end you want to drive on when you install them. You want to be sure you drive that tapered end out last and in first. The forks should slide on the rails with no play. Be sure the rails and/or forks themselves aren't worn where they ride together. There isn't much to the cover. You may want to tear it down and replace the springs and poppet balls and check it out thoroughly.
