Leaf spring removal.....i need some quick help guys

so i found my leafsprings are broken. i picked up some F350 Chassie cab 3" wide springs with a 4leaf overload. everything will bolt in fine.

the problem i am having is the front hanger, the bolt does not want to come out of the bracket that holds the spring eye inplace. its like the rubber is holding it.

this is on the F150, the original springs.

any ideas how to knock that bugger out? already tried a sledge hammer

no i don't the one air tool i do not have. ha, i got the bolt cut with my sawzall, but only one side the sleeve is to hard to cut with the blade, so my dad is picking me up some more cut off wheels while he's out at lowes, and i'll give that a shot.

thanks
