I want to dis-assemble the side mount rods so I can clean and paint them. How is the short rod attached to the socket? Is it threaded, pressed or pinned? It looks like the short rod locks the long rod in place in the socket.

The operating length of both rods is set by the double bolts at the ends (one secured under fender, the other under dash.
