The Midget front spring setup looks the same as the MGB. When I did the MGB bushes I didn't do any of that. Just put a Jack under spring pan, release top bolt, knock out bolt with a drift and then release jack. When pan was slowly released, it took the tension off the spring.panhard65 wrote: ↑Fri Jun 12, 2020 11:15 pm That sounds a lot safer a bit like the MG Midget front springs which can be done with 4 long bolts put in one at a time in the spring pan. You put the long bolts in in place of the originals and slowly release the spring pan a bit at a time one side then the other if that makes sense.
Googling shows someone doing similar on the Midget:
