Re: Biscayne Resto Project
Ken,
I wish I lived around the corner too. I have a proper spring compressor I could have lent to you, or just done it for you. There's an art to positioning one of those things. SAFETY is always the first concern - not a speedy job. Stitches on Christmas Eve..............I'll bet you won't forget this holiday!!!!  Anyway, I hope you're ok. (hands or head?) Verne Ken......in the future, please ask for help for A-N-Y-T-H-I-N-G that you're not sure of. We're here to help if we can.

Re: Biscayne Resto Project
Actually......What happened was that I decided to remove the upper and lower control arms on the rear end (one side at a time) to glass bead and paint them.......I removed the lower arm first after jacking up the frame with a bottle jack on the lift to remove just about all the spring tension (the plan almost worked) , when I took out the second bolt from the lower arm, the spring still had a slight amount of tension and the Spring/arm assy wedged itself against the rear end housing.....I pushed it with my hand (Stupid) instead of a screwdriver and there was just enough tension on the arm that when I pushed it out of the way it caught my hand between the arm and rear end housing....Damm that hurt.....
 but the arms sure look good now....Stupid
