Subject:rear swing arm/ spring removal
From:Brandt Milczewski

I am trying to remove the rear springs on my '85 Westy. I removed the
shock but I can't lower the swing arm enough to remove the spring. Do I
have to mess with the axle? Damn... hope not. I am attempting to raise
the rear of the van about an inch by shimming between the spring and the
frame. Bad idea? All input welcome.

Thanks
Brandt
