Took an hour out in the garage yesterday and got the driver rear shackle hanger off. First I had to unstick the spring from the hanger:

Then I pulled the back bumper and got to grinding and chisling until this big chunk of rust hit the floor:

Still need to drive the rest of the rivits out and burn the bushing out of the spring eye before that side is done but this is how it looks right now:

I'm thinking about cutting the passenger side shackle in half tonight which will let me lower the whole axle pproviding more room to remove the other hanger and both spring eye bushings.
