Tool Help! Santa Cruz

Fine gentleman of Tacomaworld,

I am in need of possibly an air tool or someone significantly stronger than myself, to help get these effing 19mm front leaf spring bolts off, both are completely seized on. Have used an entire can of PB blaster throughout the day and my dewalt impact won’t fit in level on the head of the screw due to the sliders (which are welded on)

If anyone in the local area can lend a hand or a tool or any help at all would be greatly appreciated. I can compensate you for your time (probably won’t be much, I’m poor af after buying these ridiculous mods)

And well I’m at it but not to sound greedy, any tools or recommendations to help pressing out the rivers in the shackle hangars is a plus.

**I AM ON THE WEST SIDE OF TOWN ON DELAWARE AVE**

Here is my current situation:

 

Have you tried to heat it up a little bit? Or a cheater bar?

 

On my son's '04 Ranger we had to use a torch and I think a 1" impact drill and a big MFing breaker bar, but we did it.

 

What I do is put a wrench on it and use a car jack under the wrench to break the bolts free.

 

I just found an old heat gun and tried but no luck.. I was using the extension handle from my jack as a cheat bar and it started bending the damn bar!

 

Good call, going to give this a shot next..

 

Heat gun won't get hot enough you need to use a torch.

 

Just cut it off with a grinder and cutting disc, and buy replacement

 

Are you going Chevy 63s? The rivet heads need to be grinded and smack them with a mini sledge and they come out. The front spring bolts, try using your foot for breaking it loose or you can a better cheater bar like don tube or get steel plumbing pipe at home depot

 

*Status Update*
Leaf springs are off!

Had to hitch a ride to Home Depot to buy an air impact and blow torch this morning to get that mfer off.. thanks for the tips guys

 

Just saw this and glad you got it off. If you ever need help again feel free to give me a call. I'm over in Aptos, but happy to help out. I'll send you a PM with my number.

 

You randomly popped into my instagram explore feed, and now I see the same truck here. Current pics look great! Love the new wheels

 

You just love using a grinder.

 

If it’s broke don’t fix it, just cut it

 

You ran that impact wrench from that tank?! You didn’t get that from Home Depot..right? How many hits of the wrench do you get?

 

Just saw this too. I'm normally in Aptos on the weekends, Maybe next time I can help if needed.

 

Hey, just saw this and don’t have an air impact anyway, but I do have a few tools, and a pair of helping hands, though not much in the way of skills ... and I live on the West Side too. PM if you ever need anything.

 

Next time, buy some extra transmission fluid and acetone. Way better than PB Blaster. https://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/threads/penetrating-oil-showdown.350800/
