Hello
An interesting chore.
Plus at the same time as fitting the rear axle you need to install the Panh=
ard rod which I have found to be a real pain in the bum.
I became very friendly with both my trolley jack as well as a screw type bo=
ttle jack. Yes lift the individual springs up with a jack until you can sta=
rt the threads, but I wouldn=E2=80=99t do them up until the very end. It ma=
y help if the springs were not tightened completely. After both sides are d=
one up by just a few threads it=E2=80=99s time for the bottle jack to be us=
ed horizontally and braced up against a wall or some other immovable object=
and using some blocks of wood. Gently push the whole rear axle from the pa=
ssenger side (for right hand drive cars) across until the Panhard rod goes =
into place. You may have to also loosen up the triangular plate that the ro=
d fits through. Be careful that you don=E2=80=99t push the whole rear of th=
e car off the stands so it might be useful to brace the chassis on the othe=
r side with more wood against another immovable object. After all that it=
=E2=80=99s a matter of tightening all the fasteners.
Worked for me and I was doing it myself.

Subject: [Healeys] Differential Installation
OK, so I am very familiar with Bugeyes. It is no problem attaching the dif=
ferential to a quarter elliptical leaf spring. Today I finished the instal=
lation of the leaf springs on my BN2 and with the help of my son we muscled=
the differential (with the pumpkin) kind of in place above the two frame r=
ails. Excuse my ignorance, but what is the procedure to bring the attachme=
nt point on the axle in contact with the center of the leaf spring? As it =
sits right now I am having a tough time figuring this out. Do I jack up th=
e center of the leaf spring with a jack until the u-bolt can get the nuts s=
tarted? When I got this basket case, the rear end was held in with a come-=
a-long and the leaf springs were gone, by just cutting them off with a tor=
ch. No experience here guys. Just a suggestion or two would be great.
