Subject:'88 removing coil springs?
From:Brian Doss
Date:Fri, 11 Dec 1998 07:37:32 EST

Is there a way to remove and replace the front coils without using the special
tool shown in bentley? If tool is necessary, where can it be obtained /
rented? Any homemade tool designs? One friend tells me he has used bailing
twine to wrap up spring when in preloaded position, then cut twine upon re-
installation, but this will not work for me as I'm sending springs out to be
retempered.
