Hey,- let me know if any of that crap works.

I appreciate all of the good suggestions! If none of that works, my friend said I could probably have a machine shop drill the centering pin out deep enough to where the retaining bolt should end and it will fall out then. We shall see what happens, I want to work on the rear end last.
I'm already having to fab up some parts for the brake pedal pushrod to get it the right length and I still have to get all of the front suspension back on.
Too many iron's on the fire!

Good Luck, - something will pan out for sure.

any recommendations on this one?
The compressor tool is not turning anymore, even with holding it stationary, the claws actually turned just a bit when I put a lot of force on it. So I tried to get it compressed more with the ratchet straps and it's not budging. I think tomorrow I'm going to get some more spring compressor tools and try to get it on the outside as well. These new coils are super stiff!

Myself, I haven't had the pleasure with springs of that nature. Did the rear on a Taurus not to long ago, but they weren't nothing like that.
So that compressor would just work to a point, - then quit working? Surprised, - it looks like a good one.
Edit - Oh I see, - the compressor threads would bind/jam under that much pressure. Yea, - larger or dif type needed I expect.

That looked like fun! Love the Cargo/Ratchet straps lol. Hey, it might of helped enough.. -Worth a try eh. Looks you needed the extreme duty spring compressor. Springs do look beefy, - that's for sure.

Once I had another set of hands, we knocked out both sides in about 20 minutes. Fast forward to today and......
