Rubce Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 Evening AllI started taking the rear spring apart this evening to allow me to paint it. I got the top three plates off okay. How do you separate the bottom two plates? The only I could see to do it is to bend the two buckles up on one side.RegardsBruce Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GT6 M Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 yip , only way on a roto set upswingers are diffrent.suggest ye get it shot blasted, then surface will get a good clean and also get surface hardened with the shot.M Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Velocita Rosso Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 Why paint?The leaves should be well greased to allow the leaves to move freely Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rubce Posted December 13, 2012 Author Share Posted December 13, 2012 HiIts a late GT6 so swing link setup.The ends have gone red rusty and so I want to paint and then grease as appropriate.CheersBruce Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nilfisken Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 Bending was the way I did it. Watch for the orientation of the leaves. Supposedly some springs have a lower leaf that is supposed to be turned one way only. I made markings, grinded them away by mistake and in the end couldn't see any difference anyway so hopefully it will still work this coming spring :)Cheers!Picture from my spring resto: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
