So I am trying to replace my broken front springs on my 94 F150, trying to put in F250 springs I got. Everything goes fine, until I try to loosen the bottom spring bolt going to the axle. The sucker WONT budge. I tried my biggest plumbing wrench, heating it up with my MAP torch. Nothing... My next step is to get the right size socket 1/2" ratchet and big *** steel pipe to slip over the wrench...

Now my question is... What size is that stupid bolt? I have researched and it seems its either 1" and 1/16" or 1" and 1/8"...

If absolutely needed I can use angle grinder to cut the bolt off and replace the entire bolt & nut.

Any suggestions would be welcome...

 

So... I got 1" and 1/8" socket for the bolt, breaker bar and 3' pipe to slip over the breaker bar.

I gave it my best and broke the breaker bar where the bar connects to the socket. I had the 3' pipe at the end of the breaker bar giving my roughly 4' of leverage. The bolt WOULD NOT BUDGE!!

Now the only option remaining is to get an angle grinder and cut the bolt off...

 

VICTORY!! I got 1" and 1/8" deep socket and better breaker bar and attacked the top nut... Spring was already out of the way, it was broken. With good amount of force I was able to get the nut loose and off! I am stoked...lol
