Leaf spring bolt
O.K I am out of ideas here. I got three of the bolts out no problem, but the last one is stuck good. I have used WD40, propane torch, and the air hammer. The nut is off. But the bolt is just seized in there. any suggestions on how to get it out of there? Any help will be greatly appreciated!

Yea, you may have come to the spot like i did and just cut the bolt out of the shackle, then burn out or the method i like better is drill out the bushing and replace, i had only one bolt come out somewhat easy..

Thanks for the info. I went and bought a new bushing but I am having a hell of a time trying to get the bushing out. What is this burn out method or better yet this drill out method? Thanks for the help!

what i did was drill out the rubber so that i can turn the bolt in the slide right out with some of the rubber. then i just pryed the rest of the rubber out and took a sawzall to it and ended up cutting the bushing in one spot and prying the rest of it up and just hammering it out.

Thanks Guys! I got it out and now my truck is sitting higher like I wanted. I just hope the body lift kit goes easier!
