Just spent the last two weekends working on swapping in my wild horses leafs as a one man show and I feel your pain. Been there done that got the tee shirt....
After several hours of monkeying with the shackle bolts seized to the inner bushing trying the "right" way to remove them and having enough liquid courage I whipped out the sawzall with a metal cutting blade and cut the bolts. It's tight, but I was able shift the bushing/leaf enough to get the blade in and if you are carefull you can fully cut the bolt without modifying your spring hangar. Small victory No. 1....
On to the shackle bushings...propane torch on the inside bushing. Some combination of a BFH, a lot of anger and my neighbors borrowed air chisel got the center bushings free (mostly the chisel). The rubber is easy after that. That outer bushing is tough...I used the air chisel again with the flat cutting blade to cut the bushing at the "weld" of the shackle where it's exposed and you can work the cut down the inside "crack" of the shackle bearing surface. Flipped it over and repeated on the other side until the bushing is horribly mangled and cut all the way through. At this point your close, I used the pointed chisel and the air hammer again for the win....
First side took me probably 5 hours and the better part of a 12 pack for the whole process. Second side I felt like a NASCAR pit crew member and took me about 45 minutes after skipping all the B.S.
Good luck!
Btw, big thumbs up on the videos that you and Matt are posting, keep it up!
