helps to have the rear axle un bolted and the leaf spring un-loaded
I use a pointed drift chisle and knock them out and try not to shroom them out
they do take some
when rusted and stuck
on the front the bolt knocks to the inside and there is another hole in the frame brace that lets it pass thru
the side with the gas tank is a PITA unless the tank is droped or the bed removed
if your removeing the brackets from the frame smoke wrench the rivits off and pry the bracket off..while its still hot knock the rest of the rivits out of the frame
if you use the front bracket on the rear use the top forward hole and drill the other 3 and bolt the bracket on as it captures the shackle bolt
the shackle needs to be bolted to the spring and the bracket and bolted to frame at the same time
want any pics of it as it goes together let me know
yes start another post so we dont hijack this one
