Rear spring removal

The rear spring was easy to remove. The tension on the spring was removed using a vise grip and a piece off pipe (which I cut groves in so the vise grip set into it ) and a floor jack. After relieving the tension of the spring the two bolts were removed with difficulty because rust and age. After the bolts were removed the four bolts holding the plate that was attached  to the differential were removed and out came the spring which was about forty pounds.

Next the strut rods,half shafts, and swing arms.Finally the differential will be removed.
