Ok...I feel "special". I can't get either leaf spring out. The front mount on both sides will not come out. Am I not doing something wrong? I have the two little bolts off of the outside, is there a trick or something? I've been using a torch an a 3lb. sledge and it only came out a little bit. Drivin me crazy.

I just took the nut off the outside bolts and drifted them out. The bushings might be rusted on there, Mine were a real biaa getting the fronts off.
