By "the beck bolt of the front leafs", are you referring to one of the nut on the spring shackles? If so, not uncommon for the upper shackle pin to get sort of stuck in the shackle bushings through the frame. I usually need to get the spring end loose then use a rubber mallet on the threaded end and then twist and pull on the shackle while hitting the other end to pull it out. With the shackles I run now, I can put a long handled box wrench on the head of the bolt and twist/pull on the bolt that way:

Yea the one on the shackles. So do I pull both of the bolts out?
