So, once the top bolt was taken out, the stub axle and spring assembly lifted out sideways and upwards. I'd expected to have to lower the kingpin from below. but that wasn't necessary.
This job is incredibly messy, and I'm running short of old sheets, and must have used more than half a dozen pairs of white gloves so far. Here's how it looked.......
And here's what's left in place......
Disassembled - top left is the bump rubber, visible in the spring is the tube protector which covers the upper kingpin.
The kingpin is stainless steel, and here you can see the scuffs and wear at the bottom end. That has happened over a very low mileage.
Here is a selection box of all the bits taken off!!!
Here's the original spring. Apologies for the quality, I couldn't get a focus.......
The writing says Eibach Federn 05/05 Morgan Plus 8.
I took the opportunity to spray some rust protector down inside both cross tubes.
