Don't be afraid of the project or the spring pressure, but have a healthy respect for the spring power. A jack under the lower a-frame as descibed above works and is how I've done it in the past. For a safety measure, you can either put small chain around the spring and some other part of the frame or run a rod through the middle of the spring so that if something does go wrong, you don't have a loose spring trying to take your head/hands off. Good luck

Hey 71402BB -
Got a mechanic friend who swears by brake cleaner. It cuts through anything and doesn't leave any residue. He's got a metal spray can that he can pressurize. Buys the stuff by the gallon and sprays away. It will also tell you if you have any cuts on your hands. ![]() Found another "pretty good" cleaner. Windex (or generic equivilant) and a couple cap fulls of acetone. Seems to work pretty good. |
