Title: Rear springs, changing.. Post by Scorpioen84 on Aug 30th, 2005, 10:12pm How did you take off the old once.? We changed the front once easy, but the rear once we gave up for the night.. Taking another go at it tomorrow.... We removed the suspension and let the bridge drop as far as we deared to, but it was still not enough to take of the old spring... Got the spring, ehm, squeezers and a hole garage to playaround in... So , i was thinking about cutting the springs and taking them of piece by piece... Why is it so "hard"? or are we stupid.? [] Any suggestions.? How is it done "properly".? Bear ower with my incredible choice of words here... hehe.. ;) |
