Leaf springs rusted in my Jeep were no match for a 3/4" breaker bar and a 3 foot cheater pipe. Plus my dad man handling them. 
Sorry the nut needs to come off the stud. Then he can use a puller on the arm.

Ran Rausch this past Sat with PA Jeeps and Sun with the 201 advanced offroad class after the last series of upgrades. I have to say the Jeep performs beyond my expectations and was really impressed at what she can do now. Saturday we ran greens, blues and very easy blacks. On Sunday I ran with Kyle from Rausch in a group and we did several blacks with some serious rock climbs. For 2 days up there it had been raining and severly overcast with Sunday being no different. It was a muddy wet mess and everything was slippery. Kyle asked how hard I wanted to push it and I told him I came to find out what it could do. There were 6 Rubicons, 3 Wranglers (1 was seriously modified), 1 TJ seriously built up to the point it looked like some type of tank and a brand new Jeep Grand Cherokee stock which took some damage (had less than 7000 miles on it). On 2 of the hill climbs not one Rubicon made it up. Just myself and seriously built up wrangler from WV. I am waiting on pictures and some video to be emailed to me from both days. When I get them I will post.
After talking with several people with expertise on the next upgrade I have gotten permission from the almighty wife to do the next phase for the Jeep. Ordering the Clayton long arm conversion kit, trail gear limiting straps and ruff stuff specialties frame stiffeners. Taking off June 7,8 and 9th to stay in the driveway and finish out the next phase.
FYI if you stay up overnight and want to stay in a hotel I recommend the comfort inn 1 exit before Rausch. It was $65.00/night able to sleep 4 in a room (we had 3) and has a heated indoor swimming pool which we stayed in Saturday evening when we got done wheeling. Sundays complimentary breakfast was pretty good too.

For those going Saturday , I want to send donations to Oklahoma. Anyone who can donate blankets and/or gift cards I'd really appreciate it. I have a friend who is close to Moore and can distribute the donations. Thanks.
