chevy 3600 springs

Any one know a trick to removing the rear spring on a 1950 chevy 3600? I got the retaining bolt out but no luck with the grease pin. any help would be great Thanks

 

There is a hole in the frame right behind the pin. You should be able to drive it out from the back side. Or use a slide hammer from the front.

 

thanks for the tip i will try it tonight

 

Is it normal to have about 1" side to side movement on the springs when the axle is out? the grease pins look great with no wear, but the movement is still there.

 

Whats the bushing look like?

 

oh about 3/4" round and 6" long with a grease zert at one end. Busy this weekend but will try to get a pic in.

 

He was asking you about the busshings in the spring eye. They are likely worn and should be replaced. Hopefully, they didn't wear through the bushing and into the
spring eye itself. That is pretty common however.

 

this is a common issue with a/d trucks. lmc has everthing to refurb ur springs an shackles. use them myself they are a good quality product

 

did not see any sort of bushing in spring eye that may be my issue.

 

Good Luck!

 

Thanks for the help of y'all and lmc truck the 50 has a new axle and tight springs!! Thanks guys
