Re: removing rear leafs on 73-87 2wd
I tried the WD40 soaking method w/o success. I wound up having to knock the front hanger rivets off the frame & then used a shop press to press the bolt out (yes.... it was that stuck!).
I got new bolts from a specialty nut/bolt place for the spring ends which I coated liberally w/anti-sieze & used Grade 8 hardware to bolt the front hangers back on.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....
Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
