If I remember right there some rib bits holding it on that you have to drill out. When you put the new one in you have to use some small nuts and bolts.

Yep, 1/4 incb pop rivet, or blind rivet... Drill it out with 1/4 inch drill or grind head off. Thw rod is held to latch asembly with a olastic keeper..
