First, you'd be best off to get the service manual, or copy pages from one. Next, the couplers themselves are probably worn, and will need replaced as well, or they may continue to leak. Then, don't even worry about trying to save any of the small parts. Get the springs and c-clips new when you get the seals and barrels. It's also not worth the time to try and get the plugs, large balls and springs out of the old barrels for installation in the new ones. Get new ones of those, too. And also replace the small balls that retain the tips, as if they are worn, they won't hold the tips in well, which will allow oil leakage. This is one area where it's much easier and better to spend the money the first time and replace all wear items, than to do the job two or three times. We use a special little home-made tool to hold down the springs, and a spring loaded clip tool to install the c-clips. Make sure the flat spot is up when you install the barrels, where the levers go through them. Reinstall the steel plugs by setting them in the bores and using a punch in the center to expand them. You don't have to beat them to death, just a couple of good taps will seat them well. Like I said, the service manual will lay all of this out in good detail.
