While changing the rear shocks on my wife's 2006 F150 I also decided to change the leaf spring bushings. When I started to remove the bolt for the front spring eye I discovered it had been installed from the inside out.There's no room to remove either of them. The muffler blocks the passenger side and the fuel tank blocks the drivers side. Looks like the only way is to cut the head of and pull it out. Anyone else have this issue ?? I guess I can call the dealer to get the specs of the bolt so I have the right one before I cut them off.

 

Any professional spring shop can get you those.
