I bought a new subframe for my /5 because we had no luck welding in the replacement pins. This one came with an intact, but corroded seat lock. There are two very small circlips holding the main pin in place. My pliers won't fit in it. Can't get it to move with a screw driver. Has anyone ever disassembled one? Is my best bet to just try to clean it a best I can while assembled?

'72 R75/5 seat lock disassembly

Is it the plunger shown here? I can't really help with further disassembly...can you take some pictures, although I'll admit they'll have to be close ups. Is it possible to just flood the plunger with brake clean or carb clean, flush out, and then apply some lubricant like Tri-flow?

I would flood it with a PBlaster or similar penetrating oil. Then after a day or two would clean it with compressed air and brake cleaner. And then re-lubricate.
