Rear axle/trailing arm disassembly tips? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

My son and I have to remove this from the chassis of my '69 1/2-ton. I know to take the weight off of the springs by raising the frame. It's got no part of the body on it...no bed, etc. The brake lines have been removed; gotta remove the shocks and the track bar (Panhard rod). Ebrake cables are not an issue. All that remains a concern is the actual removal of the trailing arms, from their bolt-in mounting.

So, anything we should watch for when we take those bolts out?

Thanks for your help.
