hey all trying to put my new moroso front drag springs in and i cant get stock ones out!! rented both of the ones from autozone that they had no luck! is there a different kind?? what is the right one?? thanks alot!.
The kind I used was a matco one. It had 4 giant claws and one bolt that went down the middle, kinda like a giant clamp. It worked perfect though. Thats the kind I would buy if I could ever find one like it.
First, USE A SAFETY CHAIN!
Second, if you loosen the bolts for the FCA to K-member, you can then likely pull the FCA down low enough for the spring to come out.
Note: People have been killed by springs flying out!
Just because someone says it's okay, that is not true!
Many idiots drink and drive and text and drive. Also, many of those idiots DIE!
Do not be foolish! If you do the lowering FCA and prying spring out method, then spend a MASSIVE ~$10 at Wal-mart, get a chain and some bolts, loop the chain through the k-frame and FCA, tie the ends together with a bolt and nut, and drop the FCA/spring.
BTW, for sn95's the springs do just come right out by hand. But, that's with a different (longer) FCA and different k-frame.
