Whats the best way to remove the rear springs? I'm siting here looking at them trying to figure it out.... help

AFter you get everything off, and car in the air, with the rear arms fully depressed down, just yank on them out. There should be enought room for them to just fall out by them selves tho...

The problem is I can't get the bolt out of the lower rear control arm...this sucks!!!

If I knew you were going to do this yourself right away I would have given you a suggestion.

There is a spring compressor that fits up inside the spring so you don't need to remove that bolt.

In fact theres one sitting on the floor by my desk right now, It belongs to one of the warehouse guys.

Call Bear tomorrow and have him ask Willy if it's allright for you to borrow it, I don't think it'll be a problem. I'm off to the races for the weekend so I won't be in Friday.

see thats what i told you to do in the PM

The way you are doing it, youre going to have to use another jack to put some pressure on the lower arm to get the bolt out.
