The last item to pull from the rear of the TR3A is the leaf spring on the 
right side. After a relatively smooth extraction of the spring eye bolt on the 
left side, it's only fair that this one is a struggle. It won't budge. 

I'm ready to receive all home-remedies or voodoo incantations that might 
summon the bolt home. I've applied Liquid Wrench for the last 24 hours, and I 
even 
tried the old "oversized socket, washer and screw" trick to see if I could 
extract it through a "reverse press."

I've no wish to cut a hole in the body to drive it out with a drift.  Other 
ideas?  

TIA,

Bill Stagg
