Replacing springs (front)
« on: January 15, 2014, 12:17:10 am »
I have a snapped front spring that I need to replace at the weekend. I have a set of spring compressors somewhere...I assume it's a fairly straightfoward job, but are there any tips I should be aware of?

Cheers

I used a bottle Jack to remove the strut from the hub as the spring compressors were catching on the top of the strut turret.
