[TR] TR3 rear suspension leaf spring question

I put my 1961 TR3 back on the road several years ago. The car had been 
dissembled in the late 1970's by the previous owner for a repaint. The car was 
painted and never reassembled until I purchased it in the late 1990's.
The rear suspension is stiff. The leaf springs are rigid and have no flex. The 
car is rust free and in amazing condition. 
I am looking for advice on how I can bring? life back to the rear suspension 
without total disassembly. I am thinking penetrating oil on the leaf springs 
may help. Advice will be appreciated. I bought rebuilt shocks which I will 
install shortly.
