Hi All

I tried to change my worn sagging leaf springs on Sunday but failed, I followed the instruction in the Haynes manual and all th ebolts came out no problem but after removing all the u bolts/plates the leaf springs would not depart from the axle no matter how hard I hit it witht he hammer!

HELP! How do you get them off the axle?

I also printed this good report off which seemed very informative and clear.

I will be having another going first week of August when I will have 3-4 days to do the job.

Thanks
Stuart

Anyplace between the axle and body you could fit a bottle jack to break it free?

See if there are any welds. Also spray everything that might hold them together with PB blaster. And keep trying that hammer on the u bolts.

Sent from my mind using the rusty stock leafs off my xj.
