Easy, easy you can do it yourself. I think Euro-Asia still has the replacement pins. Pull the whole thing apart until you just have the parallelogram left. Now turn it upside down on a vise with soft jaws so the vise opening is barely wider than the pin. Using a very small punch (or section from a 14g spoke) lightly tap the pin loose don't push it all the way out. Now do the same to the other one holding the front plate. Once you've loosened them you should be able to pull them out with needle-nose pliers. Now just do the same routine but in reverse with the new front plate. If you don't want to undertake the project just find a shop with someone who's been a wrench for 15+ years and they can do it for you. enjoy, Brandon"monkeyman"Ives Disassembly is fun in Santa Barbara, Calif.
