Brent, to remove the Replacement Spring-Bar Release Clip for Fastway e2 Weight Distribution Systems with Round Bars # FA94-02-1059 you are going to need to start by getting the lower screw out of the clip which you're going to need to pry out since there isn't a proper screw head to it.

Once the screw is out on both sides, you should be able to slide the clip down so it passes through the hole and pry out the top pin. When you go to install the new one, you'll need to repeat this process in reverse.

Can you send me just the rivits for lack of a better term that go in the bottom of the round bar spring bar release clip? Send two plus a several xtras.The res of the bar release clip is fine. Thanks

@RichardM Hey Richard, it looks like the only rivets I was able to find are the Replacement Spacer Rivet for Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution Head # EQ90-03-9105 so it doesn't look like those rivets you're talking about are sold separately.

@BryceD That’s ok Bryce. I actually put small stainless screws in the holes instead of rivets. Works great. Thx Rick
