Hi all,

I am pulling the rear leaf springs on my pickup to clean and add spring liners. The rear shackle came loose easily enough as did the u-bolts. The problem is the floating pin at the front of the rear spring won't come out. I removed the locking bolt and the floating pin slides back and forth but contacts the frame on the inside and the running board on the outside. Am I missing something or do I need to remove the running board to get the pin out?
