leaf spring bolts stuck help!!!!

tryin to do a flip kit on 84 chevy c10 ..the bolts with the shackles and hangers where the leaf is held are stuck ..any suggestions???

Cutoff wheel/sawzall.

what seth said or try some wd40 or pbblaster if theyre rusted stuck.

spray them with krohl oil or another wd40 type spray, then beat on em with a hammer to loosen them a little, hit the head of the bolt slightly to the side(yes im serious)

you can also heat up the nut with a torch to expand it

ive been soaking it in krohl oil sprayed the hell out of it.. can i just cut the head off and hammer it thru and just put a new one in ?

of course

Thats what I was implying. A flip kit should have new U-bolts anyways. You're supposed to replace them every time you remove them anyway, since theyr're considered stretch bolts.

if you have new ones then just tear them bitches out

well i tried to heat with a torch and soaked it didnt work ,so im just gonna buy new bolts , and try to cut them out 2morrow,its just a bitch from that gas tank, thanks for the help
