Re: 36 Rear Spring Removal
Well, since I sorta behave like a savage, the first thing I do when dealing with a spring on a rear end is wrap a chain around it loosely, sorta wind it , like a barber pole, no need to even hook the ends, just wrap it along the whole length, then cut the center bolt off with the torch. It will just sorta go poof. No big explosion, no heart attack, then as suggested by jseary in post 19, clean it all up and re assemble as he states in post 19

Re: 36 Rear Spring Removal
I read that your goal was to have it sandblasted. The grease & goo inside the tubes is tough to clean out, even the center section is a booger too, it will trap sand/media if not cleaned well. Use an all thread rod and sandwich 2 chore boy type metal Pod scrubbers onto the end to throughly scrub the inside, I like zep industrial purple degreaser...... you can drive out the outer axle oil seals with a 1/2 drive socket and ext. from the wheel side.

Re: 36 Rear Spring Removal
First rear I re-furnished, had center to tube bolts so rusty I replaced them with regular NF bolts. I found out they were an oddball thread so that one had to stay as is when finished. From now on I save originals, to avoid spoiling the threads. I made a spring spreader with roll around tubing and the top of an adjustable beam post, not great but did the job a few times
