What u all find is the best way to remove the front bolt on the rear leaf springs?

 

Mine were so rusty and siezed that I had to soak them with PB Blaster for a couple of days. Even then I still had to use a 2 foot pipe over the ratchet handle, and use a bottle jack to break them loose. On the driver side I placed the jack between the body and the pipe, and on the pass side the jack on the ground to use the vehicle weight against the pipe.

 

put a wrench on it with a breaker bar and crank . haha.

is it fighting you? or your just looking for tips before you start?
PB Blaster!! a break bar will help too. or air tools if you have access to them, i had them for removing my stock LCA's and those bolts spun right out. you can definitely do it without them, but they do make things easier most of the time.

 

i have the moving but they are "stuck" inside the bushing

 

search for threads on this. i know theres a few out there.

 

just seeing post on snapping the nut inside the frame

 

if its stuck you have to cut it. just be glad the nut didnt break

 

i had the same problem we ended up having to cut it with a recip saw then popping it out

 

Use a 1/2 in drive with a 2 foot breaker bar,stand on it,and well slightly bouncing on it have some one repeatedly hit the end of you wrench with at least a 2lb hammer.This will sub for a impact gun if you dont have air tools.Make sure you clean the end of threads with a small wire brush after soaking in pb.If it wont break loose with pb,try using a propane torch if you have access to one.Heat it up real well and try to break it loose.If all that fails,cut it it out and replace with grade 8 bolt.

 

mine where a biatch too. i sprayed them about 2 weeks before i removed them, everyday. and they where still tough. i thought mine where stuck on the bushings too, then i got the old harbor freight impact on them, bam they where out in no time.

 

Yah impacts are the way to go if you can,give them time and they will get r done

 

the bolt is not "frozen" i got it lose, but it is stuck in the bushing. i think some of you missed that part

 

Lube a 3 inch 3/8 drive extension and drive it out. The lube will allow you to pull the extension back out.

 

what about trying a air hammer with a long end. that might do the trick

 

A 5 foot long pipe on the end of a breaker bar. thats the only way mine came out
