hey guys I am trying to replace my front coil springs. doing a 4cyl to 8 cyl swap on my 87 LX. I got the 4 cyl spring out. trying to get the 8 cyl spring in. I tried 2 different spring compressors. this:
this one won't work because the lower control arm and k member is in the way
and this one won't work because the threaded rod in the middle is too long can't access it from the top. once the spring is compressed the rod protrudes out to far. and if I turn it upside down it protrudes out the bottom hole and I can't bend it in far enough because the hole diameter is too small and won't let the rod go to the angle it needs to place it in the top seat.
what have you guys done to get the spring in?
