Evan G Posted March 9, 2010 Report Share Posted March 9, 2010 if you don't want to go to a hospital use a coil spring compressor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phat_20 Posted March 9, 2010 Report Share Posted March 9, 2010 Supper Dangerous Stuff.....I would take Evan G's Advice. I used to take out the complete strut, with the rattle gun to loosen the shock bolt while the strut was horizontal and pointing at a wall with about a meter gap. After mastering this technique (well thinking I mastered it) a strut flew, bounced back off the wall and scraped my arm. I then when out and bought a cheap set of spring compressors from Super Cheap Auto $50. So Buy Spring Compressors! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

curly Posted March 10, 2010 Report Share Posted March 10, 2010 heat the springs up or cut them, replace the shocks, buy new springs, go buy some clamps and refit easy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
