Last thing I did last night... (pic took this morning)
This morning...
After removing the old coil. I used vise grips and went slowly. I don't think going slow I needed the vise grips, but hey it worked.
After standing on the hub, the front axle drooped enough I (yea one hand on the fender, the other on the coil spring) managed to stuff the new spring in here. Remember to space the coil compressors about 1/3 turn part (as shown) to keep the compressor from interfering with parts of the Jeep. You can also see the vise grips.
...and here it is now.
edit: Hammering worked really well to remove the 'nub' left after cutting with some propane torch heat after sitting for a while with PB. Gosh wailing away at the dumb thing felt good. Anger management
