I am doing both springs, both sides, just one side at a time so I have only one side jacked up (not a lot of space in my garage so I have to do one at a time).
I have removed the drop link, though not the anti roll bar, that gave me an inch of play.
I used a 5ft breaker bar, sat on it and was able to lever the upper arm low enough to get the spring into the lower seat - I've done it I thought! - However, nope. I still need an inch more to get it into the cup at the top.
Removing the anti-roll bar will help? I'm not sure I understand, do I undo the anti-roll bar bolts both sides and drop it?
I was expecting this job to be easy and it has taken me hours to get exactly nowhere.
I have just bought some claw-type spring compressors that will hopefully give me an inch of play, that with the breaker bar and the anti roll bar removed might get me those three inches I need (fnaaaar, fnaaaar).
Everyone on't'net seems to have replaced these springs easily except me.
The springs are Killen.
