Once you done that, refit the subframe bolts to that side and remove the opposite side.

Once the new springs are fitted, torque up the subframe bolts to the specified torque and job done

Beats frabbing about with drop links and rusted fasteners any day of the week.....20 minutes to do both rear springs

Did my 2 rear springs today on the tourer in this way - perfect... much easier and quicker than messing about with drop link bolts etc..

I will do it this way from now on.. Thanks Brian..
