Rear leaf spring removal woes!!!!!

So I finally got ready to install my RC 3in lift on my 98. all was going fine untill i tried to remove the front leaf spring bolt on the right side. soaked all fasteners and bolts last night and had no issues till now. it seems that the welded nut in the frame has broken loose and is turning with the bolt. does any one know of a quick fix. the only thing i can come up with is cut the bolt between the spring and frame and then cut a hole in the inside of the frame box to put a new nut and bolt in. any thoughts,comments, or ideas are appreciated!!!

I would say look in some of the threads on the bottom of this page, they are similar threads and may have some answers you are looking for.

thanks, i just came in and my blood pressure is up and i got a coulpla bloody knuckles etc, etc!!!

What people in the past have done is cut a small rectangular hole out on the bottom side to be able to get a open ended wrench in to hold the nut still.

yeah thats what i have planned to do!!!

Good luck... this is on my agenda in the near future. Let us know how it turns out.

its goin ok, just wish i would've just fired up the torch to start with would have been way easier. gotta head to work, maybe i'll get to finish it up tomorrow.
