Getting spring off

[Jeepster90]

I am lifting my yj 4in and i have ran into a problem, i cant get the leaf spring off the frame bolt, i have got the spring off the ubolts and shackle, but when i hit the bolt with a hammer it dont budge, i have used pb blaster on it, and tried turning the bolt and it turns the whole spring.

Get a bigger hammer!

Also, heat the area with a torch, then use PB blaster to cool it..it will wick the PB into the spring eye.

Try what Rich said, If that does not work you will have to cut the bolt, Thats what I had to do on my YJ when I swapped springs, the bolts were frozen solid in the springs, even after getting them off the jeep I ruined the bushings pressing the bolts out, had to replace the spring bushings.
