Rear leaf spring and shackle bolts?
Posted: Mon, 02 Dec 2019 8:18 +0000
Hi there fellow Hilux owners.
Newbie to this and am going to attempt a badly needed bush replacement to the leaf springs. So sorry if this has been posted previously, but cannot find a relative thread.
Done the homework/googling and confident of it all bare one issue. I have a 2007 twin cab kun26 Diesel 4x4 .
Have not yet tried unbolting but curious if the set up is a bolt that won’t spin while removing nut (seems unlikely) and simply push out, or it is a bolt and locked in sleeve set up, or I would have to unbolt while spring in tension to prevent spinning. Strange that the front of leaf spring bolts have a bolt and nut set up and not the rear... not sure what the go is and would appreciate some advice so I’m not stuck with an unusable Ute.
Thanks in advance
