For 75. I removed the 9 leaf spring and it appears the cushion cups are swaged or otherwise permanently attached into the spring. What is the proper way to install new ones into the new 7 leaf replacement.

Does it even need to be attached or will it stay in place once the cushions and bolts are in place?

Any tips, tricks, or hints?

Any help appreciated.

I don`t know about "proper" but on my racer they are not swedged but they manage to stay in place...

It will stay in place as there is always pressure on it. It you want to peen it over, use a hammer with a round head on it and hit the back of it to roll it over.

I would say the spring company made them so they would not fall off before the factory assembly worker got the spring installed.

I made a 45* tool to flare them and then use a ball peen to flatten.
