Follow the Chicagoland article and you can't go wrong. Be very careful when
lowering the pan to remove the spring. The spring MUST be tied back or
chained to the car before you attempt this. If the spring breaks loose it
can do a lot of damage, both to you and the car.
The bearing setup is not a problem. Again, just follow the book and have a
mixture of shims on hand before you start.

Subject: RE: Changing front springs
Barry,
The article says to remove the wheels AND bearings. I think setting the
bearings up perfectly is a bit of a chore - I think?? Someone described
something like just jacking up the suspension sans wheel only, undoing,
dropping, replacing and all so simple - or was I dreaming?
