Hi, On my 59 Apache 1\2 ton what is the best way to get the pin with the screw end and the long pin that goes through the leaf spring out? It is on the front of the rear leaf spring any ideas would be great. Thanks Steve

I found a bolt just small enough to slide through the middle, but long enough to press with (pirated from the autozone valve compressor tool), then found a piece of pipe big enough for the insert to slide into, and another pipe sized a little smaller than the insert for pushing it out. Cut the pipes to a convenient length, then slide the bolt through the pipes and the insert, get some thick washers and a nut then start cranking. The screw head kept twisting off, but after re-welding it a few times it worked!
