Dave, I made my own "Churchill Tool" per the Official Triumph Workshop Manual. It's pretty easy, if you have a welder. You could take your manual to a welding shop and they could make one up for you. I can't imagine it being very expensive, and you will love it.
When I did mine, I fastened the spring to the differential first. Then using the special tool, I was able to stretch the spring up enough to bolt it to the uprights, one side at a time. This is really easy if you have access to a lift. If not, you'll need patience and a helper. Good luck, Mike ----- Original Message ----- From: "David Mayer" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, July 21, 2004 10:35 AM Subject: Re: the discouraging differential saga continues... > Thank you everyone for your help with that.
