Hi

I am about to remove and rebiuld the leaf springs on my stock 1957 truck.
All seems simple enough, but before I start, I am a little confused on how to remove the rear leaf springs from the front shackles.

I see there is a locking nut, but how does the pin pull out?
Any other suggestions and advise before I start?

Thanks
Gary
