Hello,
About a month ago I asked for help and suggestions because I was going to
change the leaf springs on my ' 73 BGT. Well I got allot of help and
suggestions and I'm sure that I'll use all of them. Well I just got started
today on this project and I have problems!! But only two of them pertain to
this project, I hope someone can help.
1) I have the right side leaf almost off. The only thing holding it to the
body of the car is the front bolt. I have the nut off, the bolt spins freely
but refuses to be backed, beaten, pulled, or pried out. Any help? Do I need
to cut this to get it out? I have a new bolt if that helps.
2) I tried to remove the shock link from the bottom shock bracket/plate (this
is on the left side) . When I try to remove the nut the threaded part of the
link spins also. I have tried to hold that part with Vise Grips but no help.
Does this mean I need a new shock link? Will I have to cut this one also?
Any help would be appreciated.
