Great video! I've installed a coil over kit without compressors but with that being said the spring was smaller and came with new struts all I needed was tools to remove old strut and replace with new strut mounts. Subscribed!

I just almost died unscrewing a strut spring the thing shot out like a rocket

My Friend costs more than the spring compressors

I do this even with spring compressors but i rope it down to a cinder block flat.

Since I replaced the springs/ struts myself, I went out and bought a spring compressor. It's only $35, so worth the investment. Don't get me wrong, I've done it like that before.

Haggard Garage (back when they're real haggard) used big zip ties to prevent the springs to relieve it's compression, they've also used vise grips

no money for a free tool rental, but do this cheaper option "with your impact tools" who the fudge...

nice video. short and simple. hate when people just talk a bunch, get to the point right. well done bro

Excellent video, very thorough and informative and easy to follow. However, in my particular situation I am trying to replace the _strut_ itself, and already have lowering springs installed, meaning the currently-installed stock strut is probably already more compressed than normal - _dangerously_ compressed/pressurized - due to the shorter length of the aftermarket lowering spring already installed. Hence, I think I will go ahead and rent a set of spring compressors from the AutoZone down the street (they rent them out for just a few bucks a day I believe). Great video though!

As always Milan, the video was very informational and anybody who isn't afraid to get dirty hands can do a job like this. You do such a great job! :) Take Care! :)

YOu always have great videos and folks ..I have seen EXPERTS do similar ..but in some cases what they d=o is put a jack under the lower arm, raise it, remove the bolt and slowly lower (after removing the strut bolts of course ) ...it works on some vehicles...Milan, like I said, I LIKE your videos but I would rate this one as "don't try this at home". Someone is going to try this with some heavy duty truck spring and get not only killed but hurt badly :-) Otherwise, keep up the good work

Thanks for finally revealing the truth about the need of a Spring Compressors. Now when were working with another parts changer we can instruct him to stand on the back of the strut while we remove the spring. When he refuses get your little brother to stand in for the big Two Inch slide. Boosting both you and your little brothers strut changing qualifications.

The piece you were threading to the strut assembly is called a “nut” not a bolt. If you don’t have spring compressors auto zone rents loans them free of charge or you can slowly remove the “nut” and it won’t shoot out the assembly, it’s not recommended but it gets the job done.

Oh well this got rid of my fears. The god of simplicity right here

Works great this method it only took off one of my friends leg at least he has one more left.....

If you can afford air tools, you can afford spring compressor. Honestly don't cheap out with things that come to safety ;)

How much did those manzos lower your car? Before and after finger gap. What's the ride like??

would the height of the springs be different if the bolts weren't tightened properly?

do you have to change the strut or is the coil enough?my car has a rough ride so i want a smother ride

Excellent

@milanmastracci

2 жыл бұрын

Thank you!

Just a thought, how come you can't take 3 or 4 heavy duty zip ties and secure them around 2 or 3 spring coils, pull them tight with channel locks. Then when you remove the nut the spring will still be compressed. Once the spring is off, all you have to do is cut the zip ties one at a time until the spring decompresses. Probably a good idea to secure the springs between something heavy on both ends to prevent injury.

I thought it was commonly known to not use an inpact gun and just spin the nut off as you will spin the shaft in the strut and damage them. Do you not see where an allen wrench can be inserted at the shaft end to keep it from spinning as you use a pass through socket to remove the nut. Instruction that come with struts point out to do so. Not the case with your struts ???

It's hard to know what kind of tension the assembly is under until you undo the top-hat nut by which time you are injured or dead, or you're ok. Suggesting to people that they give this a try without spring compressors is really negligent. Even sideways, some of those assemblies can shoot out and cause some kind of damage or injury.
