While I'm at this I want to also replace the bushings on the leaf spring, now it does look like a lot of fun to get to this cookoo . I remember I tried loosening one of them some time ago and looked like it was not coming out so anyone know the steps to get to this bushings? I believe they are 4 on each leaft spring side upper lower front and upper lower rear.


Thank You.

The only way I've loosened them is by heating them and using a couple big breaker bars. Then there is getting the bolt out of the metall bushing.

O loosen the nut is easy on mine, they hard part is to remove the bolt so I can put a new bushing in it. Should I raise the rear end, or what?
