Rear axle pivot shaft - how to remove wedge bolt?

[cfm65@me.com]

Well done, Star 63,
Please tell me about the Benz Dr's jack trick. I assume that the bronze bushes cannot be replaced with this procedure. I need to replace both bronze bushes and the large pin as well as the large rubber bushing. Did you use the clinometer to adjust the rear axle tube horizontal and then the hanger arm vertical?

If you also have to change the bronze bushings you probably must take the whole axle down.

I used the clinometer readings to adjust the vertical support 90 deg from the left axle tube (which was not horizontal at that point).

Benz Dr's advice: Place a hydraulic jack under the right hand side bracket of that spring. While supported by the jack, loosen the inner bolt of the bracket just a little. Then remove the outer bolt. Lower the jack slowly and the bracket will pivot around the inner bolt. Now, it's easy to take the spring out.

TKS Petri,
That is how I fugured to remove the compensating spring.
However, the trick is now to get it back in position.
