U can order the parts from serveral vendors sites LCM and others. As far as getting them out break out the torch because u gonna have to heat them up abit, if you have a old pin is good to drive them out/in. Same and for going in heat the new pins in an oven before installing them. Heat they srink and when cool they go back out, like they are pressed in.
