Bomb squad


The front suspension has been removed from the frame, leaving it finally bare and ready for sandblasting.

With the help of a modified spring compressor, the coil springs were compressed allowing the upper ball joints to be separated and the springs removed from between the A arms.

Seeing the springs out and safely on the shop floor is like looking at a diffused bomb as they can be dangerous to remove and have been known to hurt people and property as the suspension is taken apart. It's nice to have been able to find a safe way to do this and know how the can be safely installed when the time comes.
