Replace one bolt at a time and install 2 3/8 all thread rods about
12" long with a flat washer and nut on each end. Then remove the two
other bolts holding the plate to the lower control arms. Then start
loosening up the two long threaded rods. This will lower the shock
plate and then you can remove the spring. This will also work to re
install the springs.
