Unless you've pulled the springs already, just a reminder that the four pivot bolts (rear bolts on front springs and forward bolts on rear springs) are splined where the go into frame brackets. So, you'll want to tap them out after you remove the inner nut (nuts are all right-hand thread). And, I'd suggest you replace them and the bushings - they will most likely be badly worn. ..>R

I would also upgrade to a large impact wrench and a torch.  You probably won't be able to save the pivot bolts, but chances are they need changed anyway.

Hi Turk,
           Don't forget that some of those pivot bolts and U shackles have reverse thread. Here's a link to a diagram from the old website that shows which went where.  Scroll down to bottom of page.

You need more liquid enhancement  ;)  But really the best stuff I've found is called PB Penetrating Catalyst. I use it on all my airplane parts and it's way better than WD 40. I get mine ay my local Napa Auto Parts.
