In Reply to: thanks for the input guys, I do realize it's not the best idea posted by «§» on August 22, 2002 at 14:15:53:
-Kaleb : I figure the weight from the car would be enough to push the rest of the assembly towards the ground, but I dont know that for sure so maybe it's not a good thing to try. : I dont want to bring spring compressors to the junkyard and then have to do it by hand, but I guess its not that bad for just one spring.
You would have to disconnect the strut at the bottom and push/aim it into free space to let the spring pop loose. The problem with this is that you'd have to have your hands/feet/someotherobject down there, and that would be a little risky. If I were you, I would do it the easy way like you want to do because I'm lazy, just be really careful. Wear LEATHER gloves or something thick. Actually, if you want to know the truth, I would buy a new insulator and not waste my time with a 10 year old piece of rubber and metal.
: Thanks for the concern :)
: Maybe I could buy the whole thing, take it home and bring back the pieces I dont need; I'll have to make some calls around here.
