Im still working on the lower two bolts on my shackles. Impact wrench, hammering, and propane torching later and they are still attached to the bushings.

 

I didn't losen/take any pArts off... And yes them bushings are A PAIN!!!!! Use lots of lube(wd40) and keep beatin on it... Good luck.

 

hell im tryin to put on the torsion keys..got um off cant get them back on

 

haha i just out my shackles on the other day, and my old bolts were frozen to my bushings too. It took an 8 pound sledge hammer, lots of turning back and forth with a ratchet, and an air hammer to get them out. And i couldnt get the top out so i just cut a 1 inch by 1 inch hole in the sideskirt, and it worked

 

I used a drill to drill out around the old bishings
jusr eat up all rubber oem bushings and they fall right
be sure to use pinion angle shims so you don't eat up u joints

 

that's just wrong!


and it's not a "sideskirt", it's your bumper end cap, and takes so little to remove.
