Discovery Rear Seat Removal

I need to remove 1 of the rearmost seats on my D2 to give more space (car
has rear aircon so the passenger side seat sticks out into the load area
when folded as the 'alcove' houses the compressor etc), it looks easy with
only 4 bolts to undo but I see a spring on the mounting and am worried that
if I remove the bolts I might lose the spring tension (a bit like in an up
and over garage door). Does anyone know if this will happen before I start?

You've been hanging around my house of a weekend, then. I think this
recording was the one where I did the S2a brake shoes.

You'd have heard complaints about hot bits here today - welding new front
leg onto Edward II. Got a convincing list to starboard, but then the back
wheels are not on the concrete, and the bit they're on slopes - I'm fairly
sure the chassis part is in fact straight though - took some time to line it
up and I had the front of the chassis on a pair of stands at the same
height, with the axle on 2 more stands at the same height, so that in theory
it's all parallel, and I also put the bumper on temporarily, and that lined
up as well.

It might be that the springs need switching over... I'll see what it looks
like when it's parked somewhere flat...


In other news the drag link looks crap, so I'll replace that and it's joints
as well, while I've got the front deck and the bumper off and it's easier to
get at it.

I don't have a mig, so it must have been me.
