[6pack] Re. Front end disaasembly

[Yahoo]

The right side front end came apart nicely and safely, aside from a broken split pin on trunnion bolt castle nut.  I felt like a real mechanic! I took my time the last time I did this work, cleaning up threads,  lubing bolts and studs, torquing to specs. It paid off. Getting the fulcrum pin off is a pain due to the tight clearance to do wrenching.Cheers, Bruce Simms

John - Bob,
Didn't he say that's what he was going to do in 2-b?

Hello,

Easy to build. Get a length of 3/4 threaded rod. 4 washers and 2 nuts. Or you can weld/braze a bar at the bottom like I did. You feed the rod through the hole where the shock goes. Easy and safe as John says below.

Bob.

2.??????Remove spring and spring pan (per Bentley)

Bruce-

Be very careful with this step. The spring pan is under considerable pressure from the shock spring. I don?t know your shop?s experience with these cars, but removing the spring pan without a spring compressor can cause injury and damage. The common spring compressors that fit to the outside of the spring in my mind are dangerous. You need a threaded rod type to put into place of the shock. Then you can decompress the spring safely. You can make a compressor, or I can lend you mine?
