After a long hiatus, I'm finally resuming the R&R of the front suspension of
my TR3A to replace the springs, shocks and bushings. Almost everything has
come off so far without a fight - My current challenge is getting the LH
front lower wishbone arm removed. It is free of the fulcrum pin and
bushing, but there isn't enough clearance between the threaded end of the
fulcrum pin and the threaded bottom end of the rocker shaft to remove the
wishbone arm. I've removed the drop arm nut, and on my car the space
between the rocker shaft and the end of the fulcrum pin is about 7/8"...
the end of the wishbone arm is approx 1 3/16" .
Is this tight spacing normal? Is there a simple way to remove the arm
without having to remove the drop arm and rocker shaft or moving the
steering box?
TIA
