Rear spring shackle kit ford f1 install

Any tips on removal and installation of rear spring shackle kit in a 52 ford f1 pickup?
Any special tools required?
Have never done one before and in my experience it's better to seek advise in advance.
Thanks

 

All you need is a BFH and a br*** drift punch. Pull the retaining bolt that holds the shackle pin in, and start pounding on that pin. If it was well maintained and greased regularly, it should come out with a minimum amount of effort. If wasn't and it is rusted in, I hope you ate your Wheaties....

Good Luck.
