... Yes, under the ball joint...... Could the TRX springs in it be a bit stronger??Are you putting the hack right under the balljoint? You should definitely see the shock/spring compress just a little bit
You got this! Just be safe!... Yes. Could the TRX springs in it be a bit stronger??
Anyway I pushed out the strut bolts and it moved about 1/2 inch up.
Popped pretty good when I pried out the spring... I was glad the spindle was there to stop it...
One side done....
Its been many years ago, but I did a few of these before on other types of vehicles and I never had them as difficult to do... Seems as if after letting down the A arm, the spring would just fall out........ Maybe I am not 25 anymore??? LOLJust make sure you are clear when you pop it and I usually put stuff in the way when I do that. I’ve never had one shoot out
Go back to about post #45. We were lobbying for a pizza and beer Stangnet party at limps!! LolI'm surprised no one mentioned having a few people sit around in the engine bay. I've done that a few times. 3 or 4 people can easily stand in the engine bay. You'd be surprised what folks will do for a few beers.
Glad you got then out. Dealing with springs is the most dangerous job a mechanic can do. I've seen really bad stuff happen from doing them wrong.
I would have come up with something like that 30 or 40 years ago...... All of my friends are old like me and I don't want to see any of them get hurt..I'm surprised no one mentioned having a few people sit around in the engine bay.

Taking them apart to install new bushings..... Had a breaker bar on them... Getting the correct size socket today 1 1/8" so I can get a better hold on the bolt side.. Had a 1", 1 1/6", 1 1/4" and 1 5/16 , but no 1 1/8........ My collection of rarely used tools will go up some more....I was able to do mine with a breaker bar.
Heat plus penetrating fluid will help too. Don’t use heat if you are intending on reusing the arms with the bushings as-is. If they are getting replaced, heat the nuts up and breaker bar those suckers off
It’s supposed to be as black as the darkness in the depths of your soul.Is my K member supposed to be body color??
My EX would tell you that there is NO black that dark.....LOLIt’s supposed to be as black as the darkness in the depths of your soul.
