Default Re: Rear spring shackles

If the bushings need to be changed it is necessary to remove, or at least loosen, the brake backing plates to get direct access to the bushing bores. Job simplified if the entire axle is pulled. Just finished a bushing job today. If the spring bushings need to be changed it would be easier if the spring is dropped. If the shackles are worn chances are the bushings are bad.
