Rear spring install @$R%@%$

[Chevyguy]

I would have to remove the backing plate from the axle to get enough clearence to bang the bolt out. I did notice when spinning the bolt inside the bushing it seems to make the bushing go up and down slightly, meaning it is bent slightly. That could be the reason it won't come out easily.

I had removed the stabilizer bar first, and tried to remove the tension from the axle with the jack. I had the jack positioned just under the spring pocket.

I am just trying to find if there is an easier way to get the bolts out, or if mine is unusually stuck in there, or if I can use another method, like the Chevy method of disconnecting the shocks.
