Your question came in totally blank, all I got were a couple pictures of a drop spindle axle on top of a leaf spring with the U-bolts removed.

If you are having difficulty separating the leaf spring from the axle you might try some penetrating lube like WD40 and a mallet to try and break the two apart from each other. Corrosion may have built up between the two parts and now they are stuck together.

You might also try and get a pry bar between the spring seat and the spring to see if you can force the two apart.
