if I want to disasembly my rear struts. is it safe or smart to just remove the center nut, and slowly jack the car up till the springs come loose? or do I really need to go find a spring compresser? I don't need to get them back together.

I can't really see any harm as long as I leave the 2 bolts that hold the mount on done up.

it would save me lots of time

 

I did that when I put my springs on a couple years ago.

 

Now that I think about it, the stock spings made the struts shoot down really fast because they weren't fully extended. I don't know how the Eibachs will be though.

 

bump, wana try this today...

ok or not?

 

Why not just go to AutoZone and get their compressors? It's FREE and it's the Safe way to do it.

scott, i wouldn't do it....

i personally take safety over everything...
and i wouldn't want a compressed spring that flys out and through your fender then through your garage door
