i wd personaly chop it all of and rebuild it cuz i recon you coul make a much better job of fasening it on
-
I replaced my bushings and the front ones gave me the most problem. I drilled the bushing out.

Did anyone ever drill out the rubber bushing? And I'd rather plunge a (heated with a torch) hot glowing rod into the bushing ratgher than heat a spring.. Even though the end use is way lighter duty than the original car it was off of.. Also you could destroy the rubber bushing with heat from the inside out.. and not heat the spring...

@rpeek for truck and transport leaf springs we cut the bushings out of the spring eyes with torches, i've never seen one break at the eye before.
I would think a little heat should be fine

i had this prob when i put a 4'' susp lift on my yota. i just burned the rubber out with the cutting torch, got a new bold and bushings

An easier way would be to jam a large screw driver in the leaf spring eye where it meets the leaf. This will open up the eye slightly . Then get a BFH and pound that sucker out. It'll only take two or three hits with a 2lb club hammer due to the fact that the eye has slightly opened. When you take the crew driver out it will return to it's natural shape. Heat and leaf springs is a no no..!!!

The easy way to get leaf sping bushings outby livefstdieslow2,043 views
sad to see these guys work so hard trying to get a bolt out. I run a spring shop and I could have the bolt out in about 3-5 minutes maximum. Sometimes I can even get a tough bolt out in less than 20 seconds. I also find it funny, he keeps calling it a shackle. There is a spring, the bushing in the eye and the shackle goes between the bushing and the hanger, which mounts to the frame. So simple.

I just did the same job on my 150 and I ruined a craftsman 3 ton gear puller to just get the bolt out. I don't like the Idea to put heat to spring steel. Its a heat treated metal and I fear it would have lost its spring hold by doing that. Nice job but I would recomend a Much stronger gear puller or press I you have access to one. Peace

@rocintrucker83021227 I doubt if the amount of heat you get out of one of these little burners is enough to warm the steel enough to have an effect, but what do I know.. Whatever works..
