Coil Spring R & I
- Raise and support front of vehicle with safety stands under frame and place a jack under axle. Disconnect shock absorber from lower bracket. Remove nut holding lower retainer to spring seat. Remove lower retainer.NOTE: Axle must be supported by jack during removal and installation procedure. If brake hose length does not permit adequate clearance, remove brake caliper or compress spring with Spring Compressor (T81P-5310-A).
- Lower axle as far as possible without stretching brake hose. Using pry bar, lift coil spring over bolt that passes through lower spring seat. Rotate spring so retainer on upper spring seat is cleared and remove spring. To install, reverse removal procedure.
