You need a spring compressor and some tech skill.

go to autozone....put down $30 for the spring compressor should use a 3/4 wrench compress them, take them off....and put in the new ones...then take the spring compressor back to autozone and get your money back

what's so funny? autozone rents the spring compressor tool for a deposit
HAHA, ya they rent them. Thats how you do it. Pay 30, return them whenever you want to and get your money back, or keep them.what's so funny? autozone rents the spring compressor tool for a deposit

you dont need a compressor for your car to take them off. Anyone know if those spring must be compressed to be put back on, or are they short enough.
your car takes less than 1hr per corner, and thats with retardation time included.
"The 1911 is a collection of subsystems that must work together. Each part must be prepared and fit properly not only in and of itself, but also with regard to the other parts with which it must operate for the gun to function and appear as desired."
How do you take them off then? Cause a compressor is the safest and easiest way that i know of....oh, and Danny, do you still want that tank?
yea, i can tank that tank off your hands. maybe we can meet next week. or tonight. PM me.
I do it the unsafe way, that really isnt as bad as everyone thinks. Stand onthe strut with the top nut facing conctrete wall. Put impact wrench on nut, make sure back of the impact wrench in like 1 inch from wall. Then brace urself and kick the trigger on the impact wrench. laugh if u want, dont it plenty of times, no harm yet. YOu just might need a compressor for installation, but somtimes you dont., GL

i do it the unsafe way too xD or just pop it inside the wheel well =x
he's puttin on some lowering springs so he wont need it after he takes em off.
eric you need to hurry up and drop that shit.
Man, you need come over and help a brotha out.
$150 and we'll install them
you dont need a spring compressor, what i do is take a used belt, or old belt. tie it around and lock it around the coils. shoot the nut off with an impact, and loosen the belt.
ghetto but it works
