Re: [DML] front coil spring removal




Hi Kevin,
Yes you do have to seperate the ball joints from the
control arms to get the spring out.You can probably
leave the upper one there but I removed the upper
control arm to give me more room to fit the spring
compressor on the spring.
To seperate the lower control arm from the ball joint
I used the claw on a claw hammer as a lever against
the ball joint.I put the claw between the control arm
and the steering knuckle and levered it up and down
and the ball joint popped right out.
Also be sure to check the condition of your control
arms while it's all apart.My lower one on the left
side cracked recently.
Good luck with it.
Cheers,
Andrew
