[Healeys] Front suspension dismantle

[PG]

Don't remove it.....bead blasting won't change the appearance that much.
Big risk, small return.

I simply masked mine and painted with the arm attached

I have removed and completely dismantleled my front suspension and I wanted
to get the parts bead blasted and painted. The only part I can't remove is
the one half of the upper A-arm from the Shock absorber shaft(same for both
sides). I had planned on indexing the shaft and arm to provide reassembly
guide although it obviously does not want to come off.

DON'T DO IT!

Leave the arm on the shaft. It is indexed.  Why do you want to remove it?
