is it NECESSARY to replace the shackle sleeves on the frame if the threads are good and they are fit tight? do not know if they have ever been replaced. I bought new shackles with the new springs. if the consensus is yes replace them, what is the method for removal? i was thinking thread the old pin in part way and use it like a punch and drive the old sleeve out?

As always, you time and advice is much appreciated
