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

Oooh, from the top, hadn't thought about that, I'll have to give that a better look. Bought a cheap 22mm wrench to bend if need be. So far it spears that the bolts are stuck in the bushings, I've on the rear where I could get the nut off the bolt punch out. It turns very slowly with just about all my might on a breaker bar with another 18" of pipe, and I'm moving the spring is taking a lot of that force. I'm probably going to have to cut the bolts between the bushing and hanger, but if I do not have a way to fit that nut with the remaining end of that bolt from its little pocket, I may be in trouble, so no cutting the front bolt without a plan.
