Leaf spring bushing replacement

It took 2 days and 5 different local businesses to get a complete set here in town but i got them. Started doing the front driver side leaf spring first. Used an impact, a crescent wrench, a hammer, a couple chisels, an air hammer, a press when i could, a drill and 3/8 drillbit, a piece of 2" pipe, and alot of swearing. Made a drastic difference in ride smoothness, and nothing clunks anymore. But i wouldnt do it again. Even though its worth it, its a pain in the *** doing it with the leafs still ubolted to the TTB. If someone you know suggests doing it because its easy, you punch that person in the mouth.
