Replacing Leaf Spring Bushings

You are correct in that you remove the spring and bracket from the car in step 2. After you have the assembly off the car you can remove the bolt and bracket.
When I done this job the springs were out of the car, so I used a press to get the old ones out and the new ones in. I did it in two steps. Taking the measurement from the new bushing, I was able to find a short piece of pipe at Lowes that was the same O.D. that I used in the press.
