Inside work

It was raining again all day today, so thought I would tackle removing the rearend. This one didn't come out easy. Had to use a cheater bar on a breaker bar to get the nuts to break loose. After a bunch of penetrating oil was poured on and a lot of grunting, they popped loose. Anyway, got the rearend out and only smashed one thumb. I think It's all comin back to me now.
Next I think I will pull the rear springs and spring purches. They are riveted on the frame, so will grind off the heads and punch or drill out the rivets. I have to be careful with this part as the new rear suspension will use these same holes.
Anybody reading this stuff???
