Kimble,

Still working on my front springs, got the two front bushing ordered, and four for the rear. Looks like the rear did not get greased enough. The threads are gone on part of one bushing. On the other one still have not got the pin out of the bushing. However, did get the bushing out of the spring eye.
Last photo shows it being soaked to try and get it loose. The rear shackle holding it is being replaced. Really like the Kroil for getting parts free. This part has been soaked for weeks now off and on, now that it is out and verticle can keep it saturated. Tomorrow plan to put air pressure on the grease fitting hole to see if can force Kroil in more.
