Re: Spring spreader needed to pull rear end on a 41?
[QUOTE=30aadoodlebug;2205838]Hey all,
I getting ready to swap transmissions in my 41 woodie and wanted to know if I need to drop the rear end from the rear spring with a spreader off the shackles. Can I just back the whole thing out with the spring attached and no spreading?

Yes, you can back the whole thing out. A couple of things to remember, though. Because of the high arch of the spring UNLOADED, you really do have to get the rear of the car up there. And don't forget that you'll have a hydraulic brake hose at the front of torque tube leaving little room to roll backwards. Same thing with the parking brake cable. Go for it!
