Hello,

Still continuing my rear end swap. I have disconnected everything I am going to reuse. I just have to disconnect leaf springs.

The question I have is does the rear end detach from leaf springs or the rear end and leaf springs are one unit, and the leaf springs and axle must be detached from leaf spring bracket?

Axles are held to leaf springs with a pair of u-bolts on each side. Those should be replaced rather than reused.
