Re: The Brown Truck

Here is a thread with some videos that show how to remove coil springs. http://www.67-72chevytrucks.com/vboa...d.php?t=338491 The main steps to get the spindles and coils off are: (I adapted this from another thread on the forum) 1) Jack up truck and support it on the frame rails with jack stands. 2) Place jack under lower control arm and jack up so spring pressure is supported by jack. 3) Loosen castle nut on LOWER ball joint - but do NOT remove it completely. 4) Hit the spindle on the lower ball joint boss with fairly large hammer to loosen the seated ball joint. 5) Once ball joint "pops" you can remove castle nut. 6) Slowly lower floor jack under lower control arm to gradually let pressure OFF spring. |
