[Healeys] Looking for ideas

[Alan Seigrist]

Michael -

:(.  now I feel unhappy!

Can you safely fit a slide hammer puller on the shackle pins without
stripping the threads?  Usually they work for me if all else fails...
Maybe even have a second pair of hands & try putting axial pressure on the
inside of the bolt with a spanner and two locked nuts while using the slide
hammer on the outside thread...
