That was awesome Grumpy! I got them out in 20 minutes but I could do it alot quicker if I had to do it again. I was able to save my rear springs and that is great. Thanks for posting that information!

Also on the driver side I didnt even need to cut all the way through entirely as I think it relieved some grit and rust when I made a few cuts and it with a cold chisel a few times then I just got my ratchet/socket and got the bolt out using a long extension.

No amount of marvels mystery oil or extreme heat was going to get these out. They were sooooo rusty they were practically welded together.
