jack your car up, put a jack stand under the k-member, place the jack unde the control arm remove the strut and slowly let the jack down and spring will fall out. i always try to tie mine up so it doesnt bust out on me.
For the fronts his control arm may not extend down far enough for it to fall out. The front springs are pretty long. Thats what happened to me. If thats the case you may have to disconnect your tierod to give you more room
the only thing that happens is your spring falls onto the ground. Its harmless.
I say this with great respect. Your statement, when made as a blanket statement, is very dangerous. You've just told every stanger that their springs will not have enough potential energy to harm anyone or anything. I very very much disagree.
This is correct.I just installed new lower control arms a couple of weeks ago.If you have your control arm as far as you can go down and it still does not fall out, you can gently pry on the spring and it will fall out, there is absoluetly no pressure on it, it is just simple stuck in the grooves.
Wow, so your car is the definitive answer? <rolleyes>Okay i must rephrase that for mr perfect. If you have your control arm as far as you can go down and it still does not fall out, you can gently pry on the spring and it will fall out, there is absoluetly no pressure on it, it is just simple stuck in the grooves. Mine did the same thing. If you dont believe me, when i drop my k member next week i'll make a damn video of it. Proving to you it does NOT "shoot out" at you and kill you. For comparison reasons... its just like when you just get done looking at the hottest girl alive, then some fat chick walks by, and you go limp. It just falls down towards the ground!

First, learn about tolerances!
Second, a lot depends on how much "give" is in FCA bushings.
Your suggestion and comments are foolish and *dangerous*. Yes, it is good to get feedback on individual experiences. But, for person that does not know about tolerances and other matters to make suggestions that are dangerous and foolish to other is something else!
For one thing in SNOW states, you have heard of snow - right?, the bolts are often rusted to the bushing sleeves. Therefore, that greatly limits the amount that the FCA can be pulled down.
Also, there are at least 4 springs for Fox GTs. The springs for GTs with AOD with AC are the longest.
When removing springs on a *Fox*, ALWAYS use a safety chain! For an sn95, the do "fall right out".
For my car, the POS worthless B springs with a NEW FCA and bolts could be "pulled out" by hand.
BTW: TRY that on MY car with stock springs. And, how about you put your car and TV right next to my car.
