Re: Best method for replacing leaf spring **UPDATE**HELP!
Such fun. That is my current project!
1990 Tracker 16ft deep vee.
Lots of salt water.
Oil is is nice, Impacts can be fun, hell you might even break something
if you have a big one.
Here is what you need.
1, you will need all new hardware.
2. make sure the spings, and axle are the correct one prior to ordering.
3. Use for jack stands in a location that can be used for weeks. (S happens!)
4. you need a 4" right angle grinder, safety glasses, gloves, and cut off wheels.
FYI cut off wheels are not grinding wheels!
After the oil and impact fail to getherdone. break out the grinder and let the sparks fly.
Loosen the wheels, put her up on stands, pull the wheels get the creeper.
Have a cold one this will take a while!
With the grinder cut through the bolts along the springs in the front, and the shackles in the rear.
Try not to screw up the mounting locations.
This will take about two beer to get done.
Just like the 4th of July
If you screw up like me, you will need to reuse the old shackles.
