Hello, my rear shackles cracked so i went to replace them. The bolts were not budging so i had to burn the bushings off. Now i have a few questions:
1. Where can i purchase these bushings at? (Online or store)
2. Do i need a ball joint press to press the bolts with bushings back in?
3. What is the easiest way to release tension from the leaf springs? Cause they are pressed against the frame right now.
4. Does the outer metal sleeve need to be removed from the leaf spring? And how does one go about doing that if so?
Thank you!
