[TR] Autumn classic.-- now rear springs

[MMoore8425 at aol.com]

I had this problem and ultimately here;s what I did. it ain't pretty but it  
works.
 
When you look at the rear gravel shields, there are two pieces: the big  
piece and a little "slipper" shaped piece.
 
If you remove the small piece you can drill a hole, maybe 3/8 inch in  
diameter which will be competely hidden when you replace the slipper piece. get  a 
long punch and I found you want it to be as large a diameter as you can manage  
because a small punch simply peens over the end. It ought to be 5/16 at least 
 (same size as the end of the pin).
 
I also cut a hole in a 2x6 to sort of protect the body if i missed with the  
16# sledge hammer I used. (Buy a new bolt).
 
Make the hole you drilled tidy and paint it as someone may use it  again some 
day!
Best, Mike Moore
