I'm getting ready to reinstall my front springs now that my work with the Centerline front suspension kit is done....
Question:
How should I compress them? I rented a Pep Boys spring compressor ( a good deal: you pay a deposit equal to the value of the tool, keep it as long as you want, and they refund it when you return the tool). However, since there's no (big enough) hole in the spring pan for the threaded rod this compressor really won't work very well. I can hook onto the side of the spring but I'm not really very happy with that idea.
Will the 'threaded rod' system used for removal work for the reinstall too?
Is there another method?
My search here didn't turn up anything...
thanks!
