1 ton Rear Leaf Spring Replacement, hidden nut on front bolt ?

[Rubble]

I did a lift on a 3/4 few years back & if I remember correctly either used a sawzall or zip wheel to get it out. Was replacing the whole pack, so the bolt left in Spring eye didn't matter. I've also just replaced several leaves instead of the pack to avoid this too. Good luck����

drop the wrench in the back side open or boxed .

hit the bolt with a GOOD impact gun or breaker bar .

if frozen heat is your friend .

done lots of them this way .

be thankfull its not a newer truck as them stupid designers put the bolt out threw now before the gas tank is installed . . . . have to drop the tank to remove the spring . . . unless you cut the bolt 3 times as you slide it out and then install a new one the correct way it should have been done .
