Lilbud,
I've seen this guy automarc around here and he's a much better gunslinger than I am. I see in Larry's pix his rear springs mount under the rear end so that would be a differnt horse than mine which ride on top. But if you are talking front straight axle then I left my front wheels on the ground, loosed the U-bolts, raised up Mr. Truck such that the springs separated from the axle, then gently lowered the truck such that the springs came in contact with the axle enough to take pressure off the shackle pins. They came out easy and the springs stayed put in their perches until I was ready to lift them off. Heavy buggers. My fronts had 7 leafs. But that's nothing. The rears had 14!!!! I need to go to the chiropractor now!!!!
And do be careful. Those things are heavy. Once they start to come down you cannot stop them unless you are...The Incredible Hulk. They Will smash your hand between spring and whatever they land on!!!!
