you can cut em, use heat, soak them in pb blaster a few times a day, and use a lonnggg *** breaker bar...thats what i did, without the cutting of course
So there isn't any nut hidden inside the frame rail I'll need to retrieve to put the new ones on? The bolt should just go through the bushing and thread into the hole in the frame right?
I could be wrong but I think he's talking about the rear leaf but the front bolt. Im thinking that cuz 1. what you said and 2. I know mine was a pain in the ****.
OP are you able to unscrew it but cant get it out of the bushing? if thats the problem and you can see the shaft, use a pair of pliers or vise grips, grip the bolt and use a hammer and try to tap it outa the hole.
if you cant even unscrew it do what Gee oh Dee said and use heat.
Holy crap my bad. Completely misunderstood that one!
I have my front bolt out about 1.5" and it spins no problem but I've tried tapping it out with hammers pry bars screw drivers everything. It will not budge from this spot the rear bolt came out with no problem. What's going in here
Try a crow bar and bend the leaf. It is no longer secured so it is not seated properly and the bolt may just need a better angle. Mine took some finagling to get out as well. Others have had worse luck and the bolt is completely stuck and needs to be sawed out.
