Front coil spring replacement

Guys,

Im looking to change both front coil springs on my 53 Series 2.

Is it a big job and does anyone know where I can find some info on it, I dont have a Hayes manual.

Thanks

Alan

Thanks for the heads up James, Ive replaced the drivers side in just under 2hrs with not major hiccups. I found I had to also loosen the ARB drop link just to give me another inch or so and it took me 15 mins to work out it would be easier to install the spring if I fitted the shoe to the bottom before levering it back into place.

Overall an easy job with a trolly jack, bottle jack and a few basic tools.

Thanks again

Alan

FPR removal/rebuild tomorrow, if it goes half as smoothly I will be happy
