pofarm Posted January 7, 2013 Share #26 Posted January 7, 2013 I read elsewhere about removing one each of the leaf springs. When the kits comes, are they separate and I just put one in, or do I have to tear it apart to remove the spring? Also, which leaf gets removed? You have to separate the springs. One is long and has an eye at one end and a hook at the other end. The other is short with flat ends. You will keep the long one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cabreco Posted January 7, 2013 Share #27 Posted January 7, 2013 I read elsewhere about removing one each of the leaf springs. When the kits comes, are they separate and I just put one in, or do I have to tear it apart to remove the spring? Also, which leaf gets removed? Together. It's fairly simple, you have to open the band that keeps the 2 pices snug & loosen the bolt in the center that hold the 22 springs together. Be very careful not to strip the threads. Use plenty of WD40 BEFORE you start loosening the bolt. Also make sure you repack the bearings with quality grease. IDK what the manufacturer uses but it looks more like Vaseline than axle grease!
