PLEASE be very careful. This is a DANGEROUS task--spring pressure. I STRONGLY suggest enlisting the help of someone who has done the task and is cognizant of the dangers. This is NO place for jury rigging and shortcuts.
There are detailed procedures available on the net. Read them well BEFORE you start. I did the job, but it was over 20 years ago and I forget all the details.

Hi guys.. I am planning to replace my spring plate bushing soon and wonder if anybody has any tips? I've read about it and spoken to a few people who done it and I'm reasonably confident of getting it back together again. One good tip I had was to get two bolts with the same thread but longer and cut the heads off, install these in 2 diagonal bolt-holes and slide the cover on, this ensures the cover sits square while you get 2 of the original bolts snugged down, after that remove these 2 studs and install the 2 remaining bolts..
