I keep reading various opinions about the forward bolt which attaches the rear
leaf springs to the frame of a tr-3. These are pressure fitted and usually
rust fast to the frame. Suggestions are that these should be removed from the
frame when the body is off as its nearly impossible to do with body on. Then
its suggested to replace with a stainless steel replacement which is less
likely to rust fast makng it easier to remove springs and rear axle later
after the body is on.
My question is: with a tr-3 body on
the frame.................are the rear springs removed by pulling the bolt out
of the inside of the frame therefore out of the forward spring eye? OR can
the spring eye be pulled off the bolt toward the outside of the car therefore
leaving the bolt in the frame?
I'm ready to attach the springs now and
considering whether to remove these frame bolts and replace with stainless
well oiled ones or let it go and attach as is. Anyone had experience with
this?
thanks!
