Default Re: Leaf spring bolt removal

thers another way to free up zerks, it works best with an air grease gun, put gun on the zerk with lots of air pressue on it, pull the trigger while you smack the front of the spring where the bolt goes thru , if using a hand greas gun you will need a buddy to run the gun or smack the spring, some spring hanger bolts will get a grove in them just like door hinge pins and can be a bear to remove, if worst comes to worst remove the grease zerk and get a heavy punch with a tit on the end small enought to go in the grease zerk hole, that keeps the punch from moving all over the place, then hit the punch hard with a heavy hammer, needless to say you will need a new pin
