Guess I ought to pick up where I left off, just to fill in the time gap.

After pulling out the front axle, it was off to the back axle and springs. It was pretty straight forward, pull the pins and just roll it out!

The pins and shackles were a greasy mess, but a dip in the carb cleaner at my job cleaned them up nicely.

I noticed that 4 of those 6 pins had excessive wear on them, so I searched the web and came up with 2 NOS pins (GM 3656669) from ebay and 2 from LMC (30-0342). Oddly, the NOS ones were cheaper.
