Had to take a hack saw to the rearend U-bolts yesterday to get them off. Where should I look for them at a reasonable price? They are for a Duster 8-1/4" rearend/axle assembly.

Thanks,
Jerry

spring shop; theyll make em up as you watch in about 10 minutes. You might need to take part of the old ones with so they can match diameter of the rod and diameter of the "U", as well as length. Oh; the "blue wrench" is much more effective than a hack saw :twisted: in removing U bolts.

Unfortunately, we don't have a spring shop nearby.
And, what is a "blue wrench" - impact ??? Soaked in PB Blaster, the nuts would not bust loose using an 18" long 1/2" drive breaker bar with a heavy duty impact socket. That's when I gave up. :evil:
