How do i get this out??
So i could not get this shackle out, so it got some sawsall treatment. Now the remainder of the bolt shaft is still in the other side. which is keeping me from installing my new shackle. heres the picture. how do i get this out...btw there is no other side to this bolt..its in the frame and i cant fit a drill in there.

for future reference, when the shackle bushing is siezed to the bolt and keeps spinning, make sure you have the bolt all the way out of the nut before you cut it. In this case you'll have to cut a window to get to the nut inside the bubble. The front leaf spring nuts you can cut through the floorboard which is alot better, those shackle nuts you can't.
