Sadly, it is a Pontiac, some of the forums that I visit have found that the metal screws tend to work themselves loose over time, which is why I chose to rivet it back in. The tool was extremely cheap at $18, but the downtime was immense. Overall, had I prepared properly (meaning bought the tool before disassembly) it would have been an easy 3-4 hour job.
