More on getting the one front spring rear pin out of bushing. Looks like the rear shackles did not get greased enough. The bushing is removed from the spring eye.
Photo shows it being soaked to try and get it loose. Note:The rear spring shackle holding it is being replaced. Really like "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 on the end of pin, to see if it can force Kroil in more.
