Spring Shackle woes

is there anyone in the Louisville area that would be interested in assisting me with replacing a spring shackle and maybe my gas tank (if i cant find the leak to fix it)? I have been putting it off for too long now and it is getting closer to meeting the body I have a 95 Bronco XLT Sport, stock height.

Thank you!
Andrew

If I were closer we could get all that mess sorted out..(I've replaced 5-6 shackles/hangers.)

Do you have tools?

A side grinder will work fine...Cut an X in the Rivet head, and then grind away until you can use a punch and knock the rivet out...Rinse/Repeat...lol

Hope you get this issue sorted out
