RE: [DML] front coil spring removal

[Steve Stankiewicz <protodelorean@xxxxxxxxx>]

An article in Hot Rod magazine some time back covered
the subject of spring removal.  As a safety
precaution, they recommended having a short (approx
24") piece of chain with one of those links that
unscrews.  By looping it through the spring and
through the frame, it prevents the spring from
becoming a projectile should something slip or the
compressor fail.  Obviously anytime you're dealing
with forces like these, injuries could still happen,
but I found the chain method a relatively easy way to
add an additional layer of safety.  I've used it ever
since reading the article.
