Re: Front leaf spring bushing HELP!!

You might have to. I wasn't able to get the bolt out of mine so I took a grinder to it, but mine came out with a little persuasion. I would try and lossen the shackle first and see if you can wiggle it out.

Does your replacement bushing come with the metal sleeve or is it just the rubber? The stock bushings have a metal sleeve wrapped around the rubber bushing. They can be pita to remove and I ended up using a sawzaw through it without going into the leafspring. Then a hammer and a punch to get it out. It would probably be a lot easier to do that with the leaf spring out.
