I'll be back at it in a few minutes, on the left side.

Luckily, and after reading so many similar statements, I went with new ER spring plates and will be installing Poly Bronze out back. And yeah...I had a treat with the right side torsion bar being stuck to the spring plate. I can't wait to pull the bearings on the trailing arm.... Are we crazy? Yes. Is the job tough? Yes. Will we say things during the project that should never be heard by woman or child? Yes. Will we have have incredible machines when done and be satisfied with our effort? Hell yes!
