At this point, I've unbolted the shock, removed the front diff. vent nipple so there's more slack for the hose, removed spring upper retainer, removed the radius arm cotter pin & nut, and supported the frame on jack-stands so the spring is unloaded & loose. The spring retainers should be marked to make installation easier later. I removed the 2 lower retainer bolts, retainer, spring, & cup; then the 4 bolts on the front cap of the Right radius arm. I used a ratchet strap to pull the axle forward JUST ENOUGH to get that radius arm out.
