I've been wresting w/ the removal of my BE's 1/4 elliptical rear springs. Lots of soaking and tapping and waiting. Well 3 of the 4 bolts came out w/o a hitch. The 4th sheared off at the head. After lots of thought and trying anything to avoid drilling I played with thought of rotating the spring assembly. I dug out tons of dirt/rust and who knows what to make as much room as possible and then placed a bar through the end of the spring and strated to rotate clockwise. After some wiggling, twisting and a break for a cold one, the spring rotated in the box and came out w/o any issue. I could then place the spring on the bench and work to remove the stuck bolt. All ended well and saved me quite a bit of time.
Anyone have a recommendation on a reputable source to refurbish the springs?
