Now that I have the sausage and eggs in me and some more pics uploaded I will bring you up to speed with where I'm at.

With the spring / axle bolts cut and removed I dropped the spring and supported the axle with the jack.



I was hoping that the spacer between the spring and the axle would come off for cleaning but it is welded. Will have to clean with it attached. :(



Here is a pretty ugly spring. I was getting worried when ever I towed it to the ramp.



With springs removed, bolts replaced and the axle supported, I moved to the other side and did the same thing.



Make sure you use anti-sieze when using stainless bolts. This stuff is expensive but well worth it.



Now with the port side springs removed and axle out from under the boat, I replace these bolts too.



After sweeping up my mess and putting some tools away, it's time to look at the axle.
looks like it needs the rust stripped and a coat of rust converter.







Time for another beer. Be back in a minute. ;D
