Default Stupid visor question

I can flip the visors up and down. I just can rotate them to this side...both visors. Probably needs parts, right? Before I start taking stuff apart, what do I need to order? Or do I just need to lube something?

Strange that both stopped rotating?
There isn't much to them to go wrong??
If you take your top off there is a plastic trim plate cover over each visor. Take out the 2 screws and it will come off. There is a fiber nut you take off, this is what sets the tension on the spring. You will then see a large diamiter round 'nut'. You need needle nose pliers or some such tool to spin it off. now the spring will come out and the visor will fall out..

Not really much in there but easy enough to check out. Maybe the nut is too tight or the springs broke?

Yeah, I'm guessing that over time they tightened up. I finally have time after work to break out the tools.
