Need help dismantling spring hanger

I'm having trouble removing the pin/ bolt from a frame bracket that connects the front leaf spring rear hanger to the frame. It looks to be threaded but can only get it to turn just a bit. I've used PB Blaster but have not tried heating it yet. Is it threaded or does it need to be pressed out? C catalog does not appear to show it being threaded. I would like to remove it before sandblasting the frame. Here are a couple of pictures. |

you need a good torch and heat the pi$$ out of the bracket and it should come out. if you're replacing the stud heat it up and smack it with a BFH.

Thanks for the input. More PB Blaster, some heat and was able to unscrew them. Fine threads on outer ends with coarse threads in the middle.

I replaced the bushings also on my 59. I used a ball joint installer remover to push it all out. Your bushings are probably wore also.
I push later model rubber bushings out same way. No burning them out. |
