92 front spring removal
If I remove the shock and lower ball joint so the bottom arm drops and the top arm can be held up. Will this give me enough room to get the spring out? The book calls for some spring compresor mechanism? Is this a must or is there a workaround? Thanks
Oh forgot to add all I am wanting is to install the lowering wedges.

Needed leverage ( 2nd person with bar) to push against the bushes tension so it could be lowered out of way.
You need the front high in the air to allow the spring to arc down to the ground as you lever it out.

Bottom arm won't drop much.

I had mine on a lift and even then it was almost a two person job to get enough leverage to release it.
