While out on my lunch hour, my 90 Trooper broke the left rear leaf center pin/bolt. After 3k miles of Hobart locked rear diff. Rear steering whee what a predicament <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" /> . For the record two 800# rachets straps one forward, one rearward is not enough to hold a locked axle in place, <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/shame.gif" alt="" /> on me. Call a tow truck if this ever happens to you.

I took off the U-bolts and removed what was left of my rusted center pin. The rightside pin broke during disassemble. Took the U-bolts and pin to Atlas Spring and Axle, a local shop and bought new ones. The last time I worked with the leaf center pins, was when I put the DOR Springz upgrade under my truck. I don't remember if the Springz came with a new pin/bolt or not. No blame implied, my truck is offroaded pretty hard no and then <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
