changing axle u-joints and strut rods this weekend and the left side strut rod cam bolt seems to be blocked in by the leaf spring, does anyone have any tricks or ideas? axles seem to be a breeze i thought they would be the b***h.

Take the four bolts that hold the strut rod bracket to the diff loose. Don't have to take them all the way off if ya don't wanna...just loosen them enough that the bracket will drop down far enough to get the strut rod bolt out.
