the one that the clips are attached to. the center bolt that holds the pack together has a round head on it and im having trouble getting any real torque on it to get it apart. can i just cut this bolt and buy a new yes - but use a pair of c-clamps to hold the spring pack together one just on either side of the center bolt before removing the bolt. even with no weight on the pack the individual leaves are still under some tension. crank down good-n-tight on the c-clamps and you might even take enough tension off the center bolt to back it off. if not sure - just cut it and replace it with a new one. i also did try the nuts holding the shackle on just to see if theyd come off and was able to but are those threaded rivets instead of bolts they didnt seem to want to drive out whatsoever. all three bolts that hold the rear springs in place front and rear shackle-to-spring and shackle-to-mount should be the same - a big torx head and a nut on the other side. the end of the bolt where the nut threads on should be a hex-shape allowing you to turn the nut with a big wrench and hold the bolt still with a small wrench. they will all come out but may be held in place from rust/corrosion. just whack em harder are you anywhere near jersey ive got a pair of leaf springs from my 99 2500 just sitting and collecting dust. theyre cheaper than what the replacement leaf will cost you heck theyre cheaper than what the new center bolt would cost you .
