One of my "durrrr" moments in life, I was still really tired from staying up late last night. Took me a minute to realize that while holding the allen key and the wrench, I was turning right instead of left with the wrench. No wonder why it was being a bastard, was tightening it haha.
I'm about half way done, the spring compressor I had was garbage. Waiting for a corner shop to finish swapping everything over for the front struts then I'll be well on my way to the rears. Pics later |

A spring compressor is a good idea in the front, but the rears will just fall out - they take minutes to change out.

Yes it was the front's I'm having swapped over. Should be done here soon with that and then I'll be well on my way to finishing up.

hmm, i guess i just do it differently than most... i've never needed a spring compressor. i find them to be more dangerous in most cases (lightweight vehicles) than they're worth.
