Rear leaf spring brackets.

Anyone have any pointers for replacing the leaf spring brackets on a 95 F150. I have a 95 Supercab 8ft. bed, 5.8L automatic. Previous owner replaced the front leaf brackets but the back ones are really rusted. I've already got all the new parts, bolts and all, from LMC Truck. Thinking of tackling it this Friday.

I just did mine. Torch and an air chisel takes the rivets right off. I used a trans stand to hold up the rear end. Was actually pretty easy and only took a little over an hour total.

I also soaked the bolts in PB overnight. They were tight taking them off, but unbolted with out having to torch or cut them.

Got done about a hour ago. Took it to my buddy's shop, he had them off and replaced in no time. Used a torch and air chisel. Ordered all the parts, nuts, bolts, shackle, etc from LMC Truck, everything fit perfect. Thanks for your input.
