rear coil spring removal - easy

[Grumpy old man]

I see a lot of guys wrestling with rear upper coil spring bolt removal so here is the easy way ,Takes less than 5 minutes .

Use an air cut off wheel / cold chisel / BFH

reach inside the frame rail with your cut off wheel ,

You can see the bolt by looking thru the frame rail opening here marked by blue arrow.

Cut down one side of the nut seen thru the frame .

using cold chisel placed on either side of the now cut nut use the BFH a couple times and the nut will fall off allowing the bolt and spring keeper to drop . works on both sides , Easy Peasy .
