Thom71GT · 05-28-2005

HA!! Undid the top of the rear shocks, lowered the rear with a jack, pulled out the old springs and cap, put in the new ones. Reattached the rear shocks. DONE!! Less than 15 minutes!!!

WOW!!

.........Now only if the front were that easy. Rick, you ready for the front in a few weeks?? Dallas got me the spring compressor.

The front is not all that bad. Start spraying the bolts with penetrant now!
