[TR] TR6 bushing replacement

[Mark Hooper <mhooper@indiefilmnet.com>]

I've found some significant (1/8") play in a lower trunnion mount on my 72
TR6. It really looks like just the bushings that have totally compressed
despite having very few miles on them since installation 15 years ago. Of
course, this part takes the full weight of the corner, driving or not.

Memory says that I can support the car on a jackstand put under the shock
absorber and then just remove the big bolt joining the trunnion and the lower
table/wisbones. I.e. compress the spring by using the car's own weight to do
so. Is this correct? I have no desire to catch a spring or stub axle in the
nose.
