The Stovebolt Site Forums The Shop Area General Truck Talk Rear Leaf Spring Eye Pin removal

I changed all the spring bolts/pins bushings, shackels on my 58 . I believe they are similiar to the ones on your truck.
They are (hard) to get out.
I used a wd40, a propane torch, big hammer
Make sure the frame is supported and jack up the spring to remove any tension on the joint.
Lot of heat and pounding (3# hammer). The pin would move slightly, more wd40, more heat more hammer, plenty of bad words always helps. Finally they come out.
