Heat! and
on it! It was hard to get out but I just used my little propane torch to heat it up and pound it out. If you look in my journal and see where I did the shackles you will see that there is no paint on the leaf spring.......I knew I would need heat so I didn't paint in that area. I have a real torch now to use but the propane one worked fine! I still have three more sets to do.
