Removing the coil was not to bad, used a lot of PB blaster the 2 days before I started and it helped a lot, I would recommend that to any one attempting a lift. After removing the coil and coil seat I found the large stud that holds on the top of the radius arm and the bottom retainer for the coil. After trying to get it off with a wrench for about an hour I called it quits and ordered a 1 1/8� extra deep socket from Snap-On and at 50 dollars I was not a happy camper, but the truck has been in Ohio for 9 years so let�s just say there�s some rust on it. Once the socket came I heated the bottom of it by sticking my propane torch into the TTB arm and hitting it with my impact wretch it came off. I didn�t bother to take the shock aft of the axle off because I was throwing it and the radius arm away.
