remove old spring, install new spring

what part is giving you a problem? seriously... have you tried?

 

yeh b is right, if you take off your wheel and look how its setup it should be straight forward on how it comes apart.

i havnt tried yet..... as a matter of fact...i dont even have the springs yet, im pickin them up tonight...
i just wanted a heads up on anyhitng that i'll need to do that i might not think of....
thanks for the links loudsubz

 

Air tools are VERY handy.

If you want to buy some buy an impact gun at least 400 ft/lbs, twin hammer is even better.

You will need 14mm, 17mm and 19mm sockets or impact sockets.

14mm for the nuts on the top hat in the trunk, and for the nut on the top of the shock.

19 mm for the wheels to take them off.

17mm for the nut and bolt that goes through the fork on the front setup. If its 92-95 you will also need a 12mm socke to take off the brake linke brackets.

14mm for the pinch bolt that holds the shock in the fork in the front.

If you have air tools you dont need a spring compressor.

 

you dont need air tools if your crafty.... i did my springs with all hand tools.... and without a spring compressor...

in the rear its almost certain you wont be able to get the lca/ strut bolt out... but you should be able to get other two bolts on the lca out... other then that its straight forward.... if you have a front sway bar make sure you detach it cause its a huge bitch to put back together with it connected

have fun

 

bah hand tools are for... well not me

a breaker bar and sockets is ok but you risk the chance of breaking something easier with it, and rounding the corners on bolts etc.

I love air tools would not live with out them :P

 

i have lotsa air tools thanks to my brother
how dont you need compresser??

 

push it down by hand depending on the drop of the spring, some you can do, some you cant...


when I lower 4g/crx/integra, I dont take off the strut from the lca, and I grind out the stock springs, and put the lowering coils in there, saves wrecking a bushing, and a lot of time tracking down lca bolts, and or / heating and slaving getting them out when you break the head off the bolt.

 

When you take the stock strut off the car, the car's weight is no longer on it. The strut expands to it highest setting. Once you get the top bolt off the cap, the spring will come up another inch or so. I've seen loudsubz do it before with a spare tire to reduce the "kick back" (the end of the strut is against the tire so it doesn't fly away.......but the springs is already soooo expanded, that it doesn't "kick back" that much anyways). You have to see it in person to know what I'm discribing. (I was there to watch him do a 6th gen sedan)

To put on the lowering spring back on, no compresor is needed....it's already lower than the stock spring.

 

I have a question, if you wanted to put a stock spring on you would need a spring compressor rite?

 

yes unless your the Hulk and can compress it by hand.

 

or if you got a buddy helping you... it helps if he's the Hulk though but it's doable.

 

Some stock springs can be put back on without a compressor.....but MOST can't.

 

I have to throw in my bit...

Liquid wrench all your bolts an hour before you work on it cuz Air tools are for sisys j/k (im only saying that cuz I have none) Seirously tho I swear by Liquid wrench even if you have the airtools.. Its the shiznick!! Makes Life allot easier..

 

Also If you cant afford for your car to sit a day or two, I would advise you to have 2 new rear strut to controll arm bushings and the bolts on hand incase things doesnt go your way, and a bolt snaps... Also your car is a 92 i noticed, so the bushings are likely shot anyway...

 

"I would advise you to have 2 new rear strut to controll arm bushings and the bolts on hand incase things doesnt go your way, and a bolt snaps..."

YES YES YES YES YES!!!

I put in my coilovers, and my driver side rear strut - LCA bolt head sheared. The thing was seized like a ****. Drilling it out was a no-go.. nothing worked. I had to cut the bolt with a sawzall, dremel off the threaded nut welded to the strut, and then mill out the old bushing from the LCA, which still had the shaft of the bolt still seized in it. The old bushing wouldn't even press out, the bushing tore before it budged.

I did 3 coilovers in about 2 hours, and the last one took me 3 days because of a stupid snapped bolt.

Take the "liquid wrench" advice to heart. Soak those bolts in penetrating oil a day in advance, especially if you're using just hand tools.

sounds like you had a similar experiance as to my first spring install But how else does one learn ...right? Every spring job ive done since has been a breeze... Learn once and it gets easier every time after...
