Default rear axle problem
Im replacing the leaf spring centering bolts because the drivers side broke and shifted the axle all crazy. is there an easy way to get the old bolt out of the mount on the axle? it looks like there is no room at all.

it's not fastened to the axle, it just sits in the hole in the perch.

It just sets in the spring perch hole. It's possible that it's just rusty down in there. Shoot it with a little PB blaster and pull it out.

Default Broken bolt in spring perch
Weld on an old bolt onto the broken off stud to get ahold of it. Then just yank it out.

Pull the Ubolts and let the axle drop, use a punch on the bottom broken off bolt to drive out what is left of the bolt from the top.
