Its a bitch! but I used my SNAP-ON spring comp. and with the help of a floor jack and a big tire spoon got them in ,to have to remove them and cut a coil and a half back ot to see what that would do for me and then did it again to get it were I wanted it but in the end it worked ! I took little steps to do it so I wouldnt cut em to short!!!! DR. good luck, most of what we do is a bitch but worth it in the long run!!!!
