Rear Spring Shackle
Putting a new shackle on the drivers side of my truck and i can't get the bushing out of the leaf spring. Anyone have suggestions on this? Other than a new spring, hell I'd settle for just getting the bolt out.

Heating, and burning the bushing out is 1 option. Another is drilling the rubber out, take a drill small enough to fit between the leaf spring, and steel sleeve, and drill it out. Sometimes the bit will catch, and walk it way around the inner steel sleeve.
