I got a little more done today. The rear spring shackles are the clevis type (as per shop manual), and the shop manual's instructions for removal were to use a slide hammer to remove the pins. However, I found a forum post regarding this, and someone mentioned that there are hols in the frame so that you can just drive them out with a drift. That proved to be very easy, and the best part was that it didn't require any special tools. The hardest part was removing the little pins that keep the large ones from working themselves out of the hangers. They took a few good whacks with a 4lb hammer to remove. These rear spring packs are massive.
