[TR] Rear spring

[DLylis at aol.com]

I am assuming that the body is on your car.  If this is the case, this  is 
not going to be easy.  There are a number of remedies that have been  posted 
from raising the body enough to get at the end, to drilling a hole  thorough the 
body panel where the small stone guard is so you can drive at the  end of it 
with a pin and a BFH.  Method two is going to take lots of PB  Blaster, 
repeated heating, and a considerable amount of pounding.  Be  careful of one thing.  
If you damage the threads and you cannot get it out,  the story does not have 
a happy ending.
If I were you I would make a very careful evaluation of the condition  of the 
existing springs.  If there are no broken leaves I would get some  second 
opinions on the way to proceed.  
Others have been successful in getting out seized pins.  I was lucky,  I had 
one that slipped right out.  The other is another story.
