Complete idiot's guide to spring installation
I know there are a lot of good spring install guides out there, but none of them seem to be 100% complete. I
have had these pics around for awhile and finally have time to do something with them. I knew absolutely
nothing when I did my first one, so I am trying to be thorough and give enough info for the complete n00b.
1) remove the rear seat. See guide here:

Re: How To: complete idiot's guide to spring installation
2) It is easiest to bust loose the 17mm strut top nuts while the car is on the ground. So that's what we are
doing here...
Once the seat is out you can get to the rear strut dust covers. You'll want a couple of tools to get to these
nuts
since the access is pretty tight. A 12mm open gear wrench (pictured) is nice. Also, standard 12mm sockets in
various
depths will be helpful. Unless you have air tools that can fit on these, there is a lot of wrenching involved since
you can
only get a few degress per turn on some of them.

You should be able to get on there with a 17mm deep socket and loosen it a few turns.
Just bust it loose, do not remove it at this point!

This next part isn't critical now, but you will need the info later.
In order to make sure the strut isn't spinning in the shaft, you need to insert a 6mm hex/allen wrench
into the strut top, and hold that still while you turn the 17mm nut. This is the contraption I use.

The vise grip is clamed onto a 17mm socket - you can grind one down so it has flat sides to grip.

None of this should be necessary while the car is on the ground, but you will need a setup like this to finish
taking off
the nut once strut is off the car.
Put the 12mm nuts back on the strut top a few threads so the struts don't fall off the car later...

It doesn't really matter if you take the 12mm nuts off now or later, I am just including it at this point in the
process.
If you do loosen them now, again, make sure to keep them on at least a little bit so the struts don't fall off

Some painters tape on the wheel arches will help if you get a little wild with the wrenching.

Re: How To: complete idiot's guide to spring installation
5) removing the lower 19mm bolts
First, note the position of the camber bolt (top bolt in the front.)
http://www.iwsti.com/forums/how-install/85672-complete-idiots-guide-spring-installation.html[01/06/2009 18:13:55]

If you have never had an alignment, who knows where they are set from the factory. You can either
put them back how they were, or just set them as indicated below. You should get an alignment
at some point after doing the springs anyway.
If you look at the head of the camber bolt there is a "10" inscribed on the top, basically that should be
pointed at the strut to get max negative camber. So the center mark would be perpendicular to the strut.
This would be for the left front.
I think the shape of the bolt may be such that a position slightly off perpendicular may
actually give you a hair more camber, but this is close enough until you get it on a rack.
This is the fun part. Get a breaker bar and a 6-point 19mm impact socket and start cranking on those lower
bolts.
A 12-point will probably round the bolt, and anything less than an impact socket may well break. ymmv.
I throw a wrench on the backside nut to keep the whole thing from spinning.

If you are having problems, throw a pipe over the breaker bar. Should give you plenty of leverage.
If you are thinking ahead, you can soak the bolts w/ PB Blaster the night before to help loosen them up.

Depending on how much clearance you have, you can either work the nut side or the bolt side.
Pay attention to the orientation of the bolts for when you put it all back together.
Once the nut is off you can tap the bolts with a hammer to encourage them to come out.

Put the tophat back on. The bolt marked "4WD OUT" should basically align with the flange at the bottom of the
strut.
Again, here I like to compare to the one from the other side (which I have not yet taken apart...)
You'll need to push down on the tophat while you thread the 17mm bolt back on.
The tophat will tend to twist as you tighten it down; a second set of hands will help here.

7) removing the front springs
Go ahead and remove the 12mm nuts from the front tophats.
Again, if you have your screwdriver in place in the lower holes, the struts won't fall and rip your CV boot.
Pull the strut assembly out; be careful maneuvering around the ABS and brake lines.
Go ahead and remove the top 17mm nut (see rears above) - you should really put spring compressors
on before doing this. You can rent them at Autozone for a $40 refundable deposit. It is possible to pop it off
without them, but the tophat will fly off - if you put a hole in the wall, your car, or yourself, don't blame me.
Fit the spring on the perch; it should be pretty obvious where it wants to sit.
Don't forget the rubber doughnut on top.
The center hole on the top perch should align with the flange at the bottom - sorry I don't have a pic of this.
Make a note before you take it apart, or see the threads linked in post #10 below.

You will need spring compressors to get the top nut back on - or a really strong friend who can push
them down while you thread the nut. This is the one place where I find an impact wrench to be really useful.
Cranking the spring compressors by hand is PITA. And my cheap-ass Harbor Freight impact doesn't have
enough
torque to be good for anything else.

With the PDE plates, I found it easier to first install the main plate on the car, then insert the strut
with only the center portion from below. That way you are only aiming for the one big center hole,
instead of trying to line up the three little bolt holes.

8) Fit the strut assemblies back up into the car.
You'll need to get the 12mm tophat nuts on to hold them in place. This is the part where a second set
of hands is most useful. It is hard to hold the struts in place and thread the nuts on at the same time.

The fronts can be a pain, getting around the ABS/brakes lines, and up and over the CV boots.
Pushing down on the hub may help. If you really are having trouble, disconnect the sway bar,
that will allow the hub to drop. (sorry, no pics, may update in the future but I'm sure there
are sway bar install guides out there...)
Put the 19mm bolts back in the bottom. Getting them aligned is a PITA. If you have a big punch
as pictured in post #5 that can really help get them lined up. I think the thing might actually have
been called an "alignment tool" on the packaging when I bought it.

Front ABS line (12mm) - 24.3 ft-lb
Strut top nuts (12mm) - 14.5 ft-lb
* this isn't much; don't overdo it, they can and will snap.*
Strut top center nut (17mm) - 41 ft-lb
The strut top center nuts you can torque when the car is back on the ground. Since your
torque wrench doesn't likely have a pass-through for the Allen wrench, you can use the weight
of the car to keep the struts from spinning. In my experience, 41 ft-lbs is pretty close to just
cranking it as tight as I can get it by hand with the Allen wrench and pass-through socket.
But I'm kind of a girly-man.
So anyway you can maybe get by without the torque wrench on that one; ymmv.
Note that in the rear; if you put the metal dust covers on before you drop the car, you can't get
to the center nut to torque it. You could just put the 12mm nuts on a few threads, then drop
the car, but that could run a slight risk of messing up the threads depending how things line up.
Frankly I don't know what the purpose of those dust covers are; imho you can leave them off.
