TR2/3/3A TR3 Rear Spring Issue

Remember the bolt head is round, with a small flat spot. The bushing is the same diameter round, and has a perfect little tab that fills the flat on the bolt. The tab is there to prevent the bolt from turning when you undo the nut holding the spring retaining nut. The bushing is welded 360 degrees around, and may have some extra weld on the tab...which is likely why it fooled you into thinking the bolt was welded.

Good luck with the removal! Once and a while you get one that is not that hard...

Thank you. I was definitely fooled. No more grinding, the pulling begins. I appreciate your support! Donn
