It has been a while since I did this (I used a jack like described in
the Bentley manual). What I can't recall is what allows the spring to be
removed when the above method is followed. All I can see happening is
the spring getting compressed but the things holding it in (the spring
pan and the suspension tower) are also held by the compressor. What ma I
not seeing here???
