Help reinstalling stock front springs
OK. I am a very mechanically inclined however reinstalling stock springs in my '93 is kicking my a$$. I have a spring compressor however either it is the biggest POS or I am doing something wrong. Any tips or tricks getting these back in would be greatly appreciated.
Here is the compressor I have: http://www.summitracing.com/parts/KTI-70375/?rtype=10 |

Sells a great cheap tool setup for front sping install.. $14.00 the tool bolts to your lower arm and helps guide the coil into position as you use your floor jack ..to swing arm back into position.. You may have to pry the spring on to the tool as an intial step .. If it's your first time ??? grab a buddy to help you guide things along ... if i can be of any help , give me a shout ..956/802-2983 :yes: for those that have access to a shop lift here is the fastest way !!! you only have to remove the 2 inner A-arm bolts and drop the spring out that way ... just did a set a few weeks ago in under an hour ... you can even leave the tires on .

That's good that you got them back on. That one tool you showed isn't the right one for the job, as you found. I know from experience. I had to fab my own to get those darn springs in.

I never, EVER want to remove those springs again...EVER......

Congrats on getting that accomplished yourself.
