How do I undo clevis joints?

See, told you it was stupid question but I can't seem to figure it out.

Remove the retainer clip/spring/split pin and drive the clevis pin out from that retainer end (should push out with finger pressure). Sometimes the retainer clip is physically part of the clevis pin, usually have to unclip  and flip it before it can be removed. 

[Lucy1978]

Some of the ones on the hand brake linkage have a threaded portion to the clevis pin, so remove split pin then unscrew the clevis pin.

wot's the name of the plate holding the springs to the axle, the one the U bolts tie to, i didn't see the name/part # in the manual and can't seem to find it on axle part lists, the ones i have are rather corroded and i'd like to get some new ones if i can

I seen it referred as "bottom plate", "retainer plate", "clamping plate"  but I think its officially called a "Spring Plate",  so i'd call it a "bottom spring retainer clamp plate thingie". There are different part number for axle age/type but take a look at LANDROVER PART NUMBER: 624077 as an example, that's a "SWB FRONT SPRING PLATE LEFT HAND - Land Rover series 1954 - 84 to axle suffix C series 3)
