My winter project this year is a rear end rebuild of my bugeye, and
replacing the 4.22 diff with a 3.9. Everything came apart very easily,
except the absolute last thing. Just before I put a socket onto the head of
the outer forward bolt on the right rear spring, I thought to myself - just
this one, and disassembly is done..... but it couldn't be that easy. The
bolt sheared off just below the head.
%&$#@!!!
When something like this happens, I usually go to another project and think
about it a little. Here's my question: If I start drilling the bolt, how
deep will I have to go to loosen the spring and pull it out. Will having
most of the bolt in place prevent the spring from being removed?
Any help appreciated,
