Does anyone know how to remove the coil spring without a compressor, and without killing myself? im starting to do the shelby drop. Thanks

 

Play it safe and get a spring compressor. There is a LOT of energy stored in the springs even with the suspension at full drop. If there is Auto Zone near you they loan or rent tools like that.

 

i used a scissor jack, sledge hammer and piece of chain link fence pole to remove mine. it wasnt the safest, but it worked. if you can get a compressor from auto zone or someplace for a free rental you should. cuz you will definately need one to get the new springs in.

I had trouble with mine, broke one compressor and when I used autozone's they would not compress enough to get off the spring seat.

This is a two man job, one to do the work and the other to call 911 if it does not go well.

 

yeah and if it doesnt go well, youll get a nice 620 lb spring in the gut, and from what ive heard its lethal[:-]

 

Get a shop manual and follow it step by step and like the rest said do not do it alone.

definately find someone to help. it took me over 2 hours to do one side. but then again the "tools" i used werent the best.
