Default Rear Shackle Bolt Removal Problem.

I just received my 2 inch shackles over the weekend. I figured I would put them on today but I cannot get the shackle bolts out I got the nut off and the bolt will turn but will not come out of the spring and shackle The Bravada is supported in the rear to take the tension off of the springs.Im kinda at a stopping point until I can figure out how to get them out. any Ideas? Thanks

I would venture a guess that 10% of this sites storage capacity deal specifically with this. Do a search. PB Blaster, a brass hammer (non sparking yo!) a torch (sparking!) a sawzall.... get reading. a ton of help out there.

I have done alot of reading on this and have found nothing I have used every method torch,pb blaster and anything else I could think of finally after about 4 hrs of using pb and alot of hammering/removal of the lower right rear body molding. it finally came free and the rear is done.
