In process of replacing leaf spring u bolts and I have to shim my pinion. I have U bolts nearly removed. What are a few good tricks to remove the alignment center pin/bolt ? Keep in mind these have never been removed. So getting a little socket on there is impossible. Plus there’s no room for a socket inside the recess from underneath, where the nut attaches.
The best approach that I can think of. Is after all U bolts are removed. Try hammering a medium duty metal wedge in between the springs and plates. Hoping the pin/ bolt will snap. I’ll Attach C-clamp on springs, prior.
Does anyone have any other suggestions or tricks on how to remove them ? A torch isn’t available
