Okay guys. You know what they say. There's one in every crowd. Tearing this parts truck down thus far has been cake compared to most anything else I've done....until now. Working on the spring shackle bolts which I have been dreading based on past history. To my surprise all of them tapped out but the two fronts on the rear springs. Driver side took about the normal heating and cussing to get it out. Pass side is unbelievable. At this point, I've heated it till there is no rubber left. I've beat on it with the bfh until the nut is barely recognizable. I've tried a c clamp to put some tension on it while I work it back and forth. Even a gear puller doing the same thing. Won't budge. Short of cutting the end of the spring off with a torch or trying to burn it out with the torch, any suggestions? I don't have a complete oxy acetylene set yet but my birthday is coming up. . I'm at a loss. I thought about trying the saws all but I'm guessing that bolt is really hard and probably it'll just wipe the teeth off the blade.
Off to bed for tonight.
