Today I had a good day.
I used a bearing puller to get the stuck pin out of the eye of the spring until I was able to pull it out by hand. I had to get creative to get it out using a chisel or wrenches to jack against with the bolts. Worked a lot better than beating it out with a hammer and chisel.
I put some pressure on the opposite end of the spring with the floor jack and then drove the chisel between the eye of the spring and the hanger and used a pry part to get it loose. Was much harder when I did the add a leafs and replace the bushings over 30 years ago.
Pin removed and was rustier then the other side
Raised the LC up enough to get the tires to clear the frame and rolled out from under to work on.
Set up on the skates and jack stands for mobility
