spring hangers

[hotrod24]

how do you use it? thats cool though i want to take all the hangers off and one of the rear ones without harting the frame or the hangers.

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

He is talking about a oxyacetylene torch, sometimes referered to as a smoke wrench, flame wrench, blue wrench etc.  There is nothing "wrench" about it.  It is a torch

Is it the back one ? You got a cherry picker ? If its the back just wrap a chain around the frame and pick it up with the cherry picker then you can move it

[frogman68]

how long will i have to heat the bolt up

Depends on how rusty it is.

Are you using Propane or Mapp?


Mapp wont be as long, you can also can a Mapp Oxy rig and then it wont take any time

[hotrod24]

it is propane 

[hotrod24]

well i got the bolt to turn but it will only turn in the bushing with the metal peace so if i heat it up will the bolt come right out?
