On the front of the front springs you can remove the side plates of the shackle, they are a taper fit on the threaded pins. Remove the center clamp bolt and drive each plate off with a punch.

The rear end of the front springs are held in with a bolt. First remove the locknut and lock washer from the inside. Then turn the bolt out from the outside, then push it out the rest of the way with a punch.

The axle and springs should now be sitting on the floor.
