[Mgs] armstrong front shock

[Michael MacLean]

 Well except for the downward spring pressure on the lower A-Arm that is connected to the kingpin at the bottom.  The shock arms are connected to the top of the kingpin.  I hope you know where I am going here.  You need a workshop manual to safely take the front suspension apart to remove the shock.  Be warned, when you take the suspension apart you may find there will be more than you bargained for to put it back together when you find other bits worn or broken.  Just my 2 cents.Mike MacLean69 MGB GT60 Bugeye Sprite56 Austin Healey BN2 LeMans

I am cleaning up this chassis (59), and I’d like to unbolt the armstrong shock from the chassis so I can clean up and paint the chassis.  Its ok and works fine, and I really don’t want to pull the whole thing off.

  

Can I just pull off the bolts and work around it?  Any cautions? 

  

Thanks!
