Successfully removed the rear springs from the Biggs special today. Fortunately there was plenty of oil and grease about, so cotter pins, spring pins and springs themselves came out without drama or any swearing! I had driven the car down our bumpy lane with the fixings loosened beforehand, as recommended on this forum.
Confident that they have not been removed since they were fitted in the 1940's; as I had to make two holes under the seats to remove the bolts. I'll clean the springs up before deciding on resetting or replacing.
