spring retension
Hi, You guys are right, there is alot of stored energy in those springs when compressed, but when the clamp is on it takes some hammering to get it off when the springs laid in the suspension arms.
I want to remove my rear trailing springs with the suspension arms still on the carrier as i suspect the lower balls are seized. Anyone done this before?. I think I can jack up the arms from the floor to compress the springs, apply the clamp and wind the last bit up, I think the rear springs are easier to work on as they asre shorter than the fronts. Hope to do this next week. Also perfected a method of changing carrier wheels (not idler of course) without removing the tracks during this learning curve. kevin.
