So......I thought that on a solid axle the camber was only adjusted as a function of the other adjustments. I don't see how you could adjust only the camber, but please enlighten me as to what I am missing.
I got the old hangers off and the shackle flip hangers on. I found it easier to just cut through the inner sleeve (part sticking out of the shackle) and the bolt all at once. Made the other side go very quickly. To get the rivets out I tried 3" & 4" die grinder, sawzall. air chisel, and plain old angle grinder with grinding wheel. Grinding wheel worked the best. I ground the rivets down until I could see the outline of the shaft part of it in the hanger, and then tapped on it with a hammer a little at a time until they fell to the ground. I cleaned and painted the shackles and the.....uhm....plates the U-bolts go through. U-bolts are being shipped from the east coast by mule so I don't have them yet, but I plan to put the new (stock) rear springs on tomorrow.
