Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
Learned about leaf springs tonight. Just penetrating oil and a heat gun to pull them. Discovered the lower shackle bolts are a real *&*(&%(%. Those bolts took a lot of punches with a 3/8" ratchet extension and hammer.
Sure has taken me a while, but I've learned a lot. Happy to say the much better end is close. All that's left are the front suspension and engine/trans. I'll probably pull the front suspension next week.
