Trying to figure out how to get the rubber bump stops out of the front springs without have to cut the bracket off and reweld it back on. I want to get the springs powder coated, but cant do it with the bump stops in. Am I missing something on how to get these things out without cutting and welding?
Thanks - Jeff

Re: Leaf Springs
Mine came out fairly easily, I think I just grabbed them with some channel locks and pried them out. The tricky part was getting them back in...

Re: Leaf Springs
Does the spring flex cause the powder coat to crack?
Now that you mention it Wade the parts we have powder coated at work usually come back with rubber caps over the studs and in threaded holes.

Re: Leaf Springs
The guy that is doing the powder coating for me states the oven would be way to hot and will melt all rubber parts.

Re: Leaf Springs
Yeah, It is a local Voyager Trailer Manafacturer. They have a couple different booths that they do the powder coating in for the trailers and associated parts. The biggest one is 40'. Just a tad bigger than your buddy's Kitchen Aid I imagine. Lol
