Coil Spring Removal Tip

If you’re going to be removing your car’s original coil springs, you’re going to need to support the lower control arm. This can be done with a heavy block of wood and whatever further support is available (jackscrew, etc). Remember, the spring is under great pressure, and once the spindle assembly is removed, the spring can be literally launched into the air. Use extreme caution here! To avoid damaging the brake flexible lines, disconnect them and tuck them out of the way.
