I just bought a pair of rear new springs for my 66. What are the steps to remove the old springs and install the new ones on...It looks easy, but I thought i would ask the pros first...Thanks

Re: Rear Springs
Just unbolt (ha ha ha ha! Yeah right!) them and bolt the new ones in. The little cups really fit well only one way and you will see that. The bolts are usually a PIA and like to break sometimes. LOTS of penetrating oil and you may end up needing new ones. Or at least the nuts. And remember to support BOTH the frame and rear end!
 We don't need any flat dudes around here.

Re: Rear Springs
Step One: Buy new bolts, nuts and washers.
Step Two: Break old bolts trying to get them off. Step Three: Remove old springs and install new ones the same way. Step Four: Tighten nuts.
