I have I think two sets of these but are seized up. Is there a place to buy new ones (doesn't have to be O.E.M). Or can you disassemble them and buy a rebuild kit. I have not really looked to see if there is a way to get these apart yet? What have you had to do? Thanks, Jay

I just had this issue with the pivots on my 68 Sport Fury....couldn't turn them by hand. I clamped them in a vise, soaked them with PB blaster, clamped vise grips on them and twisted them back and forth for about a half hour. They finally loosened up and now spin easily by hand. I didn't dissemble them or replace any parts.

Oh O.K. I'll give it a go. I forgot to mention there for a 69 b-body if that matters at all. Thanks for the info, Jay

I drilled, tapped, and screwed in a Zerk. Much better now.

That is a good quick fix.
Best way is to rebuild them like this:

Jules,

Can you do black zinc on the linkages as well?
