breaker bar...a floor jack handle work well...to beat yourself senseless anyways. j/k. Get a torque wrench, learn how to use it...and use it everytime, most Autozones will loan them for free with a small deposit. Spring compressors and many other tools too.Originally Posted by blacknightteg
oh yeah, jacking it up isn't going to help to see if the spring is seated or notUnless you do it just a little bit, enough to see between the top of the tire and the fender well and use a flashlight to see up at the top of the spring to see if it's sitting in there correctly or not...alot of time after jacking a car up and lowering it back down it doesn't seat properly...sometimes bouncing it will work.
