    Hi, I have a 2001 9400 72 in sleeper, I'm trying to get the suspension bracket with the air bags and shocks on it off the back of the sleeper, It's driving me nuts,I had to torch all the bolts off but the thing will not budge,so I torched it into two pieces on one end ,I mean I made one cut. It should have fell right out of there,It did not. What the hell is holding that #### thing all the bolts are out. Some body please help!!

    Won't do any good post pictures,you really can't see anything. If somebody did this before I'd think they would know what I was talking about. You know if ALL the bolts are out why is it not budgeing?? Thanks for the response ,hopefully somebody will have done this before, will get back to me.

    Without seeing it, I can only guess, so this advice is just my opinion. Go over all brackets in the area, you would be surprised by the number of bolts and the weird locations engineers put them in. It is easy to miss one for sure. Other than that, I would say it is simply rusted in position and may need some hammering to get out. Also, if it is solid and not moving, maybe there is still too much load on it and you need to support the sleeper better, or jack it up higher to take load off.
