[Healeys] rear springs on the BJ8

[BJ8Healeys]

Jim, it took me three days to cut the front pin from the left side spring with an air tool and several different sizes of cutting wheels due to the poor access and a stuck pin.  The right side popped right out.  I think I would invest in a Sawz-all if I had to cut the pins next time.  I lubricated the pins with anti-seize on installation, so I hope that will make a difference to whomever has to do it again in the future (hopefully, not me).

My weekend project will be replacing the rear springs on the BJ8. Any tips on how do do it? The last time it was a bear and I kept thinking there must be a better way.
