Live axle spring replacement.help

Hey looking for instructions on how to replace the rear springs on a live axle vs as i have super lows to put in and not 100% sure. i will be doing it at work so will have a hoist and every other tool under the sun..

Very easy, raise car, unbolt top or bottom shock mount (your choice) this will allow you to remove old spring. install is reverse of the removal. may be easier with the wheels removed.

When you undo your shockers mate just rest something under them to take the load off the bolt so u don't strip it on the way out

i didnt even have to undo any bolts

pretty much...

jack car up

take off wheel

pull springs out, i just used my hands, but they were lows anyway

put new springs in

put wheel on

unjack

might have to use spring compressors if there just stock springs but. 20 bux at supercheap.

shit easy

To remove the rear springs on a live axle model,I just jack up the rear of the car and sit it on chassis stands.Then I support the lower rear control arm with a jack and then remove the bottom rear control arm bolt, then I just lower the control arm down a bit with a jack.Its the quickest and easiest method Ive found to do this job,especially when the original height springs are fitted.It takes 30 seconds to undo this bolt,and another 20 seconds to lower the arm with the jack,too easy..
