First if you take the
tub off the frame there is no problem.
There is no problem with what? The PO changed the drivers side rear spring
on my 3A along with the pin, but apparently ran into the same problem that I
am having with the passenger side so he put it all back together. I have
about a 1/2 inch sag on the passenger side. The body is off and the drivers
side
slid nicely apart. On the passenger side I used a puller to remove the
spring and the silentbloc but the inside steel collar remained siezed to the
pin.
The rubber tore and the spring came off. I then cut a grove in the
remaining collar and split that off. Now for the pin. There is a problem. I
am
hesitant as to how much I want to wail on the threaded end because if I damage
it and absolutely cannot get that pin out, I am, how you say?. . .screwed.
I have given it mighty blows with a brass three pound hammer and it scoffs at
me. I am going to spray PB Blaster on it for the next two or three days and
try again. The bearing surface of the pin is fine but I do not want to
reassemble a freshly painted body on this should I break a spring sometime in
the future and cannot get it out. The body would then have to come off again.
