The pins with new bushings come in a kit. Very easy to rebuild, I got mine at Early Classic.

Sure, but if they are very bad the steel parts can be worn too. This can still be fixed. A little welding can re-new the hole. Don't try to put the new bushings in an egg shaped hole, it will fail again quickly. It really only becomes a problem when the spring/check mechanism gets rusted and bound up. They will wear a flat spot and stick. It is usually easier to replace them at that point.
