Hi buddy.

I dont have any dismantled pics but i do have pics of fully restored ones that i have done for my customers with new springs / blocks / bushes / gasket etc.
The black covers are painted with a special plastic paint called Inotec. Its used for dashboard & trim repairs.

Its best to press the supporting bar bush out but the nylon sleeve will be fine. Well it is in my solution anyway.

Pics below.

















Hope this helps.
