So I got my new leaf springs and U-bolts from St Louis Spring, whom I highly recommend. Best price and quick turnaround.
Now that the temperature here in North Carolina has dropped below 95 degrees, I've started trying to remove the leaf spring pins that have been in place for 70 years.
Guess what? They do not want to come out!
I've tried heating them with a propane torch and twisting the end of the pin with vise grips to no avail.
Has anyone managed to get these out? What's the best way?
The 9ft bed is currently on the truck so access is somewhat limited, making the task even more of a challenge.
