<VV> Installing Rear Coil Springs

[Bryan Blackwell]

Hi Gregory,

I've found that with the shock disconnected I can use a pry bar to  
get the springs out, there's not much tension left.  However, you're  
correct that the binding of the lower control arm bushings also  
limits the travel.  I don't think you need to remove the half shaft  
as well, but be gentle so you don't break a u-joint.
