What happens here
The presenter uses a cutting wheel on the angle grinder to cut through the old welded pin securing the broken spring assembly. He then uses a reciprocating saw to cut the remainder of the old spring assembly away from the frame, removing it completely. A hammer is used to dislodge stubborn parts. He also uses the angle grinder to remove a second old welded piece that would interfere with the new spring assembly.
Goal: Detach the damaged spring and its mounting points
