Help 79 rear springs

Post by Short 45 »

Help please i have FU%^$# one of the rear leaf spring's in my 79 cruiser ute and was in the prosses of swaping over tonight with a new set.
The Pin ( front of leaf pack ) is stuck , jamed really fucked any ideas on how to remove this. I have bashed the living day lights out of it , it still wont come off.

I believe it has never seen grease as it is locked solid.

Any help please.
