 Part 16 Restoration of a 1974 Jeep CJ5 - The Shackles

All of the shackles are shot, just like this one. I need to rebuild them, but to get to the bolts I needed to drop the rear hitch. That would have been SSOO much easier when the fuel tank was out. If only I knew.

It took a lot of careful grinding for the back four bolts. Luckily the impact wrench made short work of the four side bolts.
