Has anyone ever had to cut the bolts that hold the leaf springs to the shackles and spring hanger? I got some bolts that won't budge even with an impact wrench! Any suggestions???
If you don't have an oxy/acetylene setup, you could try to use a MAPP gas torch setup. MAPP burns a lot hotter than propane and you can get one of the auto-start heads and tank at walmart for $30.
I would try the heat first like PACJRUNNER suggested. If all else fails, you can try a nut splitter and I know those work quite well. Ask around at the auto parts stores if you can not find one.
yep, do the heat, I had one wednesday night that wouldn't come loose, I had a 18" breaker bar with a pipe on that and it wouldn't budge, I bent my S&K bar before I put heat on and it then broke free just fine.
one of my bolts was cold welded onto the metal sleeve that goes through the bushing, making it very hard to pull out of a hole that was a half centimeter smaller. had to cut it.
