How bad is that backing plate?

Looking good, the rest "should" go easier now that the first one is off.

hotrod24 · « **Reply #53 on:** October 14, 2008, 08:35:23 pm »

well the back plate is just like the hanger it has a hole in the middle of it now what is the best way to grind the back plates rivets?

Donut · « **Reply #54 on:** October 14, 2008, 08:47:25 pm »

"smoke wrench"... They're not that bad to grind off. Is there a bolt that holds the cross member in the way? (I don't know, it looked like a rotted out sleeve on mine. Top flange to bottom flange on the frame, above that bracket)

hotrod24 · « **Reply #55 on:** October 14, 2008, 09:31:25 pm »

whats a smoke wrench? yes i can get in there to the rivets pretty easy i just did not want to lay on my back to do it.

"smoke wrench"= cutting torch.
I was able to sit on the ground between the frame rails and get to the rivets. Saves working overhead.

i wish i would of seen this post yesterday! i was wrestling with my rear springs the whole night! i guess everyone is having the same problem that i had! those front bolts were a pain in my a**! finally got them out with some dirty words and a sore back today but i am on the fence about my spring hangers. they are not rusted through and look ok but there is some rust on the back side where the nutt was in that pocket. i think i am going to clean them up the best i can and take a better look. is there any where i should be looking for like prone areas to be bad? i will try and post pics in the next couple of days.

you know i went through the same thing but i said what the heck when i get a shop i am going to tear it down to the frame and start over so i am going to get the frame powdercoated and all the hangers.

ngarman123 ,

Mine were rotted through in the same places that hotrod 24s pics showed above. Basically anyplace sand, roadsalt or any other crud can sit.
