how to remove overload leaf
im doing the chevy swap right now. i cant figure out how to get the overload leaf off the chevy springs. when you spin the nut there is a circular cap that spins with it. there is no way to stop the circular cap from spinning.

VEry good idea to put some stout clamps on the springs before you do that. Some spring packs pop apart with enough force to seriously mess you up.

thank you i got some vice clamps and it worked fantastic.
next question: how can i get the original leafs out of the shackle/hanger? i have tried hitting it with a mallet, and alos tried prying the other side w/ a huge screwdriver. neither of which worked at all. ideas?
