Spider rear spring removal

["Bill Bain" <bill_bain@domain.elided>]

If you've got stock rear springs, the back end of a Spider has to go up 
pretty high.  Once you've got the rear end up on jackstands, you can use a 
block of wood on the "cup" of the floor jack to pick the car up higher 
before you pull the bolts on the trailing arms.  Once you've got the jack 
stnds up pretty high, and the bolts out, you cna use the jack to lower the 
trailing arm.  Remember to pay attention to whatever shims and rubber 
cushions may be there (or should be there!).

Getting the trailing arm back up and the bolt aligned is a bit of a 
challenge without the special Alfa tool but it can be done.
