ran into trouble

[mitown]

So I was changing out my rear end and everything was going smoothly then i started taking out the bolts that hold the leaf springs and the two bolts towards the bumper came out fine, but when i went to take out the two towards the cab the nuts came off and now they just spin and wont come out. Does anybody have any suggestions. Thanks

get a cut off wheel and buzz them off. replace the bolts and feel better that you have neew hardware holding the goods up.

Because the leaf springs on the new rear end have half the miles on them

The bushing centers are likely seized to the spring bolt. Bust out the sawzall and cut between the hanger and the leaf. New bolts are cheap and it isn't worth messing with old hardware.
