How to Properly Replace a Leaf Spring Shackle on a GMC Canyon?

The replacement process for spring shackles starts with proper vehicle lifting and subsequent support before proceeding. First support the rear axle at its ride height before removing both frame shackle parts including entangled nut and bolt then perform the same process with spring components. Disembark the shackle assembly from the vehicle after performing these steps. The first step for installation requires attach the shackle assembly to the spring. Put the shackle nut and bolt on the spring before securing the rear shackle nut to 85 n.m (63 lb. Ft). After you should install the shackle nut and bolt to the frame and tighten the shackle nut to 85 n.m (63 lb ft). Close the procedure by removing the rear axle support before dropping the vehicle. A j 36660-a angle meter makes up the necessary tools for this procedure.

How to service and repair the Leaf Spring Shackle on GMC Safari?

Service and repair of the shackle starts with removing the rear spring from the fastener. The service and repair process requires first removing the shackle nut followed by separating the shackle bolt before pulling off the shackle from the frame. Installation requires you to connect the shackle to the frame and implement the shackle bolt as described by the Fastener Notice in Service Precautions. Secure the shackle nut after the bolt installation. Tighten both components to 140 Nm (103 ft. lbs.). After installation of the rear spring onto the shackle tighten the nut to a torque of 100 Nm which equals 74 ft. lbs.

How to replace the Leaf Spring Shackle on GMC Jimmy?

The first step to replace the spring shackle begins with vehicle lifting and proper support of the vehicle's frame. The Fuel Tank and evap canister and spare tire should be removed from two-door utilities before installation. The rear exhaust hangers need removal before lowering the exhaust system and placing rear axle support. First disconnect the frame to spring shackle mounting nut and bolt then remove the Leaf Spring to spring shackle mounting nut and bolt before taking out the spring shackle from the vehicle. Put the spring shackle on the vehicle then connect and tighten the Leaf Spring mounting nut and bolt but refrain from making the nut extra tight. Attach the frame elements to their spring shackle mounting bolt and nut before leaving them loose. Elevate the axle support until you achieve 164 - 176 mm separation (6.46 - 6.94 inch) between the axle tube and bumper bracket metal surface. After proper torque at 122 nm (89 ft. Lbs.) on the spring shackle mounting nuts, completely remove the rear axle support. The process includes raising the exhaust system while attaching rear exhaust hangers followed by spare tire reinstallation and eventually returning the Fuel Tank for 2-door utilities before letting the vehicle down.

Q: How to replace the Leaf Spring Shackle on GMC Jimmy?
A: The first step to replace the spring shackle begins with vehicle lifting and proper support of the vehicle's frame. The Fuel Tank and evap canister and spare tire should be removed from two-door utilities before installation. The rear exhaust hangers need removal before lowering the exhaust system and placing rear axle support. First disconnect the frame to spring shackle mounting nut and bolt then remove the Leaf Spring to spring shackle mounting nut and bolt before taking out the spring shackle from the vehicle. Put the spring shackle on the vehicle then connect and tighten the Leaf Spring mounting nut and bolt but refrain from making the nut extra tight. Attach the frame elements to their spring shackle mounting bolt and nut before leaving them loose. Elevate the axle support until you achieve 164 - 176 mm separation (6.46 - 6.94 inch) between the axle tube and bumper bracket metal surface. After proper torque at 122 nm (89 ft. Lbs.) on the spring shackle mounting nuts, completely remove the rear axle support. The process includes raising the exhaust system while attaching rear exhaust hangers followed by spare tire reinstallation and eventually returning the Fuel Tank for 2-door utilities before letting the vehicle down.
