Hi all,

I successfully removed the leaf spring from my 1962 TR3B.
Cleaned things up, replaced fluid in shock absorber.
The new spring had a little more curvature than the old spring (in image).

Today went to put the brand new TRF spring into the car. Reattached to shock=
 absorber and new U bolts.
Aligned the fulcrum bolt (although did not insert).
The problem is the rear end of the spring does not align with the shackle ey=
e on the frame=E2=80=A6see last image

Help=E2=80=A6any ideas=E2=80=A6am I doing anything wrong
Thanks
Erkan=

 Thanks Randy,
Last night that is what I did and it worked.
I attached the rear shackle first then was able to get the front pin in...m=
ostly.From there I jacked up the spring to the axle and attached the U bolt=
s.
Buttoned everything up and now it is time for the other side!.
I tried the way the manual says first and that's when I ran into trouble...=
I don't know why it is so wrong...probably it is replacing the old springs =
rather than installing new ones after 60 years.
Thanks for your helpErkan

With new springs you typically have to use clamps to position everything it=
 is not a simple bolt in procedure.
I would loosen or completely remove the u-bolts holding the differential to=
 the springs.
I don=E2=80=99t remember the exact steps but I believe I would attach the s=
pring front and rear mounts first, then take a large clamp and bring the sp=
ring up to the differential to attach the u-bolts to complete.
