HELP! Rear Spring Removal 52 Ford
I forgot to put HELP on my other post
I tried to look in past threads and had no luck with this so here it is: I've got about two hours in trying to remove the pin out of the rear <A href="https://www.ford-trucks.com/rx98192zju/kwldirect.php?kwid=383" target=_top rel=nofollow>leaf springs </A itxtvisited="1">to get them away from the frame so I can sandblast it. I can get the aft pins out but not the front. I feel stupid having to ask this question, but is there a trick to getting them out? I'm trying to work on this today, if anyone has any info it would be greatly appreciated!
If anyone that knows about this could call me, that would be GREAT!! 901-299-1970
Thanks,
Scott

I had to take the grease zirk out then take a bolt that would thread into the pin, put a couple of larger washers on the bolt and then the boxed end of the wrench behind the washer, thread it onto the pin a ways and then used a hammer to knock out the pin by hitting the wrench. I used a wrench so I had something to hold onto. It took awhile but there was no hole on the inside of my 52 to get a punch onto the pin. It wasn't fun but I got the pin out. I also tried to sawzall the pin but the spring bracket go in the way. Good Luck
