Re: ?? removing rivots on rear spring mount.

I had to redo my rear spring hanger. The shackle rusted to the bolt and twisted the bolt breaking the weld. I ground the heads off the rivets, drilled clean through the rivets, and then was finally able to pound out. I replaced the main bolt with a 7/8" x 5" grade 8 bolt. Ground down the sides of head to fit on backside and then welded in, like original. I drilled center and tapped for grease fittin.
