Good morning daily

Drop in and dribble on about nothing serious. Seriously a mad place to hang out. Better to avoid it if you're not in the mood!!! If you're determined to be sad, bad, mad & angry then move along!!!

Yep one on the other side as well Bruce, and it does hold the air bag stand, two on top of the stand as well, I have taken them off.

The gap will be minimal.

You'll need to push on both ends at the same time with the same force to stop it binding. A jack in the middle pressing upwards on a decent plate plate will do the job. (me thinks)

Good morning everyone. Its just turned cold and windy up on the river. I'm heading into the ranges today, so it's going to be cool up there anyway.
Hope your back gets better soon Bernie.
Safe travels everybody, have a top day.
Cheers

Bernie, when your back recovers enough for you to punish it again, does that bolt head drop through a hole in the cross member?

My guess is the spring centre bolt has a collar/sleeve on the bolt head end and that locates all the bits so they don't move around and shear the U Bolts. You might have to heat that bolt head and sleeve then cool it quickly with light oil or WD 40 type spray the expand and the contract the pieces in the hole so they will release from the cross member and air bag bracket.

Well, that trashed a perfectly good theory :lol: More jacking on he chassis and then between the cross member and the air bag stand to separate them from the cross member, then the air bag stand will come out with the spring if you can't separate them in there.
