Well, I've become totally frustrated trying to use the Clymer manual for my 
TR6. I'm trying to remove the trailing arm with no success. The manual shows a 
TR4 live axle disassembly as well as a GT6 assembly and mentions something 
about other models being similar. I don't think so! 
 
I'm trying to remove the rear trailing arm to replace the bushings and I can't 
figure out how to remove the shaft/hub assembly from the trailing arm. I've 
read somewhere about how the entire axle assembly can be removed through the 
trailing arm with little effort after removing the 1/2 dozen Nylok nuts (by the 
way, are these grade 2 or 5 nuts?) but can't seem to figure out how.  I'm a 
little cautious here since I've seen previous posts about horror stories 
resulting in mangled hubs.
 
Any guidance is appreciated. Here is a rough link to where I'm at in the 
disassembly...  http://home.comcast.net/~ronald.weber/images/rear_hub.jpg
 
By the way, I searched the archives and came across a tool-less spring removal 
thread that numerous people contributed to. It worked great! Thanks!
