Rear spring removal

Whats involved in removing/replacing the rear springs? Looks like less work than the fronts. Is removing/replacing the rears less dangerous than the fronts? TIA!

Re: Rear spring removal

There is nothing dangerous about changing the front springs neither the rears either for that matter

Re: Rear spring removal

if it makes you feel safer you can ratchet strap the spring to the frame to keep it from shooting out at you when you unbolt it. thats what i do
