How the hell do you get the rear springs off coz the huge bump stops are in the way.

I dropped the rear arm and they still wont come out

 

use some spring compressers

 

undo the rear drive shafts at the outer end,undo bolt in the brake line t piece at rear of car and gently lower the arm,and brakelines, obviously mind you dont kink the brakelines dont try and force it with the d/shafts connected or you will damage the outer casings and make them oval shaped

 

angle grinder thats what i used, but i was fitting coilovers so had total disrespect for the springs other than that as above remove driveshaft

 

Just undo the 3 bolts holding the rear beam in place, they come out easy peasy then Just do 1 side at once though or your beam will fall out

 

remove bottom shockie bolt, pull arm down as far as brake pipes will let you,push off rubber bump stop, spring compressors then pull spring out from side of car

 

i removed the rear shaft and lowered the arm unbolting the shocker and that was fine to get ithe spring out

 

Cheers guys i'll give it another go
