[Fot] TR3 Leaf Spring Front Attachment Pin

[Steven Belfer]

I am in the process of replacing the bushes in the front and back eyes  
of my rear leaf springs.

In doing so, I realized that the rear shackle was easy to detach but  
the spring won't come off of the front attachment pin.  According to  
the FOT link below, it's clear that these are a notorious pain.

Anyway, I realized that this pin is seized to the inner metal bush  
inside the front spring eye.  When I move the spring up and down from  
the back, I can see that the pin is turning quite easily in the  
frame.  This means that as the leaf spring flexes up and down, this  
pin is pivoting up and down in the frame.  Is this thing supposed to  
move or should it stay put?
