<VV> Coil spring reinstall on LM?

[FrankDuVal]

I use a length of 1/2-13 threaded rod in place of the shock absorber, a 
1/2" thick plate of aluminum across the bottom of the a-arm with a hole 
for the threaded rod..

The spring will need some prying as you raise the arm to make it snap 
into place (it really needs to be installed while being held in an arc, 
not straight.

I also use a floor jack to raise the arm, just running the nut up on the 
rod to keep the spring from getting away.

Remember, the spring has enough force to do bodily harm to you and other 
stuff n the garage.
