Re: Rear spring
When I took mine out I used both C-clamps and a couple short lengths of chain, having read the warnings here on the forum.
I had a replacement center bolt. The bolt comes much longer than needed so I used it to slowly release the tension on the spring while slowly relaxing the clamps and chains. I used the reverse process to re-assemble...
It has quite a lot of tension and power even though it is no longer attached to the axle..
I took out several leaves as you can see.....
