Was torching off a axle U bolt as Gordon said. Done it a lot of times but this one ws different. When I went to torch the second half of the bolt off it exploded. Seems the bolt that held the springs together had rusted off and the whole spring pack let loose. After I returned from the house(cleaning shorts) I notice a dent near the top off the shop ceiling 14 ft sidewalls, 25 feet away. This was a late model but do yourself a favor and put a C clamp on the spring pack. Happened once so it could happen again. No one is THAT iron deficiant. Kevin
