Today continued working on the front suspension. Removed the front spring by method suggested by another member. It worked well. I used three ratchet straps to remove the first spring. Used three straps for safety, not knowing how this was going to proceed when I removed the upper ball joint nut. The first strap went through the center hole of the bottom control arm, then up and out through an upper coil of the spring. The strap was warped in this way three times around before it was tighten to its max. The second strap was warped around both the upper and lower control arm twice before before tighten to the max. For the first spring removal I used a third strap, not having removed one of these springs before. For the second spring only used the two yellow straps.
