I just removed the leaf spring from the diff of my SpitSix project car. On top, there is a rectangular plate, under that, there is the spring. There are 6 double-threaded bolts that go through a rectangular top plate and into the top of the diff on either side of the spring. The hole in the rectangular plate matches up with the "button" or pin in the center of the leaf spring. Is this what you have?

I went ahead & pulled the back off the blowed up punkin...not good inside there! I wanted to use the case from the GT6 diff with the 6 studs rather than the 4 stud Spit case. Well, not being an expert on these cars, I decided against tearing the Spit case apart. The problem is, I cannot separate the spring from the diff. I see there's some sort of pin in the center...certainly it's not holding the spring to the case? How is this done? I'm going to use the GT6 spring.
