Rear spring bracket, need help

[cuda67]

I am installing ESPO XHD springs in the vert as we speak. I have a quick question, I haven't done this spring thing before so I need some tips. Is it necessary to remove the rear bracket to install the upper bushing? It looks like there isn't anyway to put new bushings in the upper part of the rear bracket while it is attached to the car, it is right up next to the frame. No room to install a bushing as it sits.

I think you answered your own question there, LOL.

I would just pull it off, replace the bushing and pop it back on.

I guess I sorta did. LOL I can't get to the back of the bracket at all, I take it that the bolts are studs welded to the frame?

They are in my car if I remember correctly. If I remember correctly they come through the frame.

Nope. The bolts are just bolts, there's a captured nut in the frame.

Thank you both for the info.. Took my bride to dinner tonight so I will finish the car tomorrow, after I go for a M/C ride with some friends.

Thanks
