Hi Brian,
I replaced the "blind" pin by loosing the bolts as explained in the instructions. Problem is trying to hold the blind pin with a needle nose pliers while trying to
fit:bang the spring and dime sized metal piece with the hole in it over the pin- and then turn the pin to hold it on.
I think the pin without the "blind" pin might be a bit easier.
Tie the spring down (shorter than the end of the pin) with dental floss back through the pin hole in the backing plate and tie it off. Position the round retainer over the end of the pin, turn it, then cut the dental floss.
