Haven't had to take mine that far apart when working on it, as it only had broken spring. I looked at old photos but those pins are covered in old grease and mostly unrecognizable. Still, there is a bump that looks look like some kind of rounded slotted screw head. Yours looks like it has been peened over to keep it together?
 
yea it looks like it was peened on both ends. dont really see a easy way to get it off. can i ask where you found a replacement spring as mine is broken also
 
Sorry, I don't recall exactly. I think the local hardware store? What I can tell you is that they aren't all that critical. It's really one of those situations where that just being there is enough. It isn't fussy. Worked darned fine after that too.
I can also tell you, if one of those plows doesn't trip well or lift well, something stupid is going on.

Something you might know already, but the only problem with them is trash. Used mine to break a few acres that had never been plowed ever, and there were saplings here and there. Mowed it of course, but the plow tended to collect roots and ball up. It makes for a very difficult to remove dirt wad. Of course the easy way to clear it is to back up, and of course that flops the trailing wheel sideways. Something to think about when you see all those broken trailing wheels...
 
Sorry, forgot to mention: I would figure on a grinding off the peening. Actually, I would probably use a cutoff wheel on a 4 inch grinder to make it removable, then find a bolt or clevis pin to replace it. Hardware stores sell pins with a series of cotter holes that you just cut off the pin to fit the length.

Lastly, do you really need to remove it? For painting, yea sure, but otherwise it will be dirty in there pretty quick anyways, and if it moves easy enough as is? Just having a thought, as I have to say I would knock them out and replace them...
