The bolts and nuts are available from your Ford store. Those should come out. My 1000 FTLB impact most definitely would remove them. Have someone hit them with a big gun.Or the FLAME WRENCH always works Good luck

I am not following you thoughts??? What bracket would that be?? Do you mean the spindle assembly?? If so check the junk yards.

anybody know if you could buy these separately or the easiest way to get them off?

Once again an impact gun. The strut comes with the bracket on it and the spindle is part of the suspension. Is that your question??

Im talking about the clamp welded to the shock. The bolts go through it.

Never mind tho I got them off. Drilled all the spot welds..

Does Anyone sell these new tho? Im doing some custom work and needed a set.

I highly doubt anyone would sell that since they are all welded on the struts from factory

Are you going to weld on the strut body ?

I think that is a bad idea

Because every shock manufacturer says not to do that!! The gas and or the oils might expand and spray in your face. I personally would not do that!!!!!

What exactly are you trying to do?????

OK!!!!!!!!!!!!!! None of us know what the heck you are doing. Why post it if you are not explaining your plan. And to be quite honest it seems like you do not want anyone to know. That is fine but those brackets could have been made without removing them from the struts, But because we do not know what you are trying to do it is a moot point!!
