M1101 / 1102 axle torsion springs

[BirdieChain]

Help please. I've looked but haven't found answer here.
When lowering the trailer can I just grind the rivets remove the bolts and drop the axle?
Is there a torsion load to worry about?
Safety first I don't want to get hurt not knowing how. Thanks

Jack it up, take the tires off, no more preload.
