when installing a 700-800lb spring...(2 posts)

when installing a 700-800lb spring...puffy

what's the trick to getting the spring in and preloaded properly?
do i need a special tool? can i do the job myself? it seems a 700lb or higher spring would be difficult to compress by hand, and once it's in ... do you use a wrench to twist the preload ring?

thanks

then your most likely over pre-loading it. Since the spring turns with the collar, you should have a fairly good grip already.
