leaf spring replacement
A situation is different. Mine of course were a MF. Talk about getting dirty and you will need air tools to make it easier. But well worth it and like someone said before replace the shocks while your at it.
the front bolts arent that difficult if you know how to deal with them
i had one that was seized tight and it didnt take me long to get it out and i didnt have to do any cutting
i used a big C clamp and a metal die i had thats about 3 inches across and 2 inches thick
the die has a hole in the center, so i duct taped a steel plate across the hole so the clamp would have something to push against
i placed the die over the head of the bolt and then used the C clamp to press the bolt out
worked great, and no molten rubber

I tried a big C-clamp too (12") an it started denting the frame before the bolt would budge..
I know another member on here said he tried using a hydrolic press that could press 2500psi or something like that and it didnt budge..
