i started to take the shackles off of my truck today. what a PITA! once i got the nuts off the bottom bolts are so stuck to the brackets. i tried hammering them out but i was mushrooming the bolts. i dont know what to do. i tried everything, i dont know how im going to get the shackles off. anyone have any tips? also, the front brackets, the bolt that holds the leaf is inbetween the bracket and the frame. how do i get the leaf off of the bracket? sorry i dont want to hijack this thread, maybe i will start another one.
