reindexing the adjustment arms on the splines of a torsalastic spring

This is a followup after seven months of driving on torsalastic springs that had the arms reindexed on the splines. There is a reference to this in the post in the eagle tech forum:

However, I want to move this to the technical archives if it is ok, Jim.
I now have posted a video to youtube.

I did this work in March and have driven the coach 7300 miles since completed. I am pleased to post that all my height measurements have held, making my work a success.
Any comments or questions, post them here so it will remain for others in the future.

Thank you for posting your reindexing project. I am sure it will help someone down the road. It was a pleasure meeting you and your wife at Branson

I just noticed that the scene of the rear end removal from under the coach was posted twice. Sorry about that. Bad editing on my part.

David, I would not worry about double posting, your video is a very valuable resource for anyone going through the same process. It's also a nice way to replace the entire rear end, if that were necessary.

Excellent work David! Hey, watching the video and remembering how heavy the springs are made my back hurt. LOL

December 27, 2022. Wow, only 75 views on youtube. I figured there would be more interest in this. Is there anyone that could post the youtube link on Facebook. I don't use facebook.

It has been 2 years and about 13,000 miles, and the coach is still riding within 1/2" of the March 2022 setting. It's nice when experiments work. :) Has anyone else out there attempted this?

So far mine is holding David. Fine tuned it a little after that cold weather a couple of months ago .
