They have to be cut in half to remove them.

Not too difficult but you need the right tools, of course. A small drill and a sharp blade will do it. New pins slip right in.

i actually already went through that when mine broke and a friend of mine who works for ford did it and said its kind of a pain, but the new one broke also after abiut a year and a half, i git some more but have been hesitant to do it, i would imagine replacing the new pin would be eaiser, let me know how you make out.

Dude, they are a pain in the a$$ to change. Your best bet is to take it to a body shop for those.
