<html><div style='background-color:'><DIV>hey all,</DIV>
<DIV>i have the wheel hub assembly off my 87 syncro in order to replace the bearings and ball joints, repacking front cv's&nbsp;etc...&nbsp; well, i bought some boge front shocks and it seems to me that it is real easy to get at them now with everything out of the way.&nbsp; do i need a spring compressor, or can i just remove the bolts, press down the piston and let shock fall down then remove it with the spring?&nbsp; or is there not enough clearance without compressing the spring.&nbsp; basically i do not have a spring compressor and can not get my hands on one immediately and i need to get this job done.&nbsp; any input here?</DIV>
