Matt,

I sympathize with you.  Some slime did the very same thing to my 85.  The two
pivot points just unscrew with a torx bit.  The pivot lock has a pin that you
have to tap out (VERY GENTLY).  Once this pin is out the mechanism will just
slip out.  The pin is located on the inner side of the lock if it were still
installed in the van.  Good luck.
