Unload the springs. Find a piece of pipe that is slightjly bigger than the pin. Cut to about the length of the pin. find a bolt that is longer than the piece of pipe you just cut. maybe 1/2" longer,that will screw into the grease fitting hole and get a fender washer. Remove the retaining bolts from the shackle. place pipe over the pin. put fender wahser on bolt and thread into Zerk hole. As you tighten the bolt it will draw out the pin into the pipe. I belive the thread size is 3/8" fine thread. You will need a bolt that is threaded all the way up, or maake a bolt out of a piece of threaded rod.
