How can YOU  be ME???  ggggggg

The last set of instructions were for  clarification of using a spring 
compressor!

I went thru ALL  the steps / safety /  for someone who may not remember what 
were talking about!  Notice the Warning In CAPS  is not numbered??  ggg

This was AFTER you said:

Smitty Says:  OK I'll bite Matt.  Show me how you compress the spring,
remove the shock, and then extend and release the spring with an impact
wrench.  

I answered:

> 5  using IMPACT  wrench  compress spring
> 6  remove LBJ nut completely
> 7  stand back while the spring falls out...

So...we're both RIGHT!!! GGGG

I'd just rather work on the whole unit on a bench...than on the floor.....too 
hard to get up! ggg
