I wonder if anyone can tell me the size of the bolt on the lower part of the shock that connects to the trailing arm.
What is the best method of removing the shock/spring?
Do I need a spring compressor to reinstall?

I want to replace my spings with a pair that doesnt sag so much.
On the other side of the pin there is a nut, the size of that nut is what I would like to know as I dont have a wrench large enough to fit it to remove it.
I assume I need to remove the large pin/nut from the bottom and the 18mm nut from the top.
I dont have a rear swaybar .
Thanks for your help
Rich, don't be give'n out bad advice or I'll sick the Cap'n on ya!
The nut and the unusual shaped head on the pin is 27mm. It's best to remove the 19mm (not 18mm) top bolt ahhhhhhhhhh I mean "NUT" and then remove the nut and the pin and slide the assembly down and out. You may need a 7mm and a 19mm open end wrench for the top. The 7mm (best to use locking pliers) to hold the shaft and the 19mm to turn the nut.
I use spring compressors on stock springs. 140lbers shouldn't need a compressor.

Want a picture of some "Bilsteins" that are exactly the way I described Wienerschnitzel?
(Oh and you missed my typo on should and shouldn't... fixed it before you could rag on me about that Corona Boy!)

In fact... it's an open end wrench (on my Bils), ya Rump Ranger.
And what the hell are we giving advice to a Guru for anyway? He should be telling all of us how to do it

Don't get all fancy pants with me Mr. Herzog. The Cap'n will have ya walking the plank.
That's not what poor Kelly asked now is it...? I asked what temperature it was not what the barometric pressure and the damn dew point was
Who gives a rats pitutty about a 18x1.5 spec?? Huh? Huh? You may not have mentioned the "top" nut but he did because you took him out to left field and confused the man with your 18x1.5 bolt/thread spec... poor Kelly.
Cap'n, Cap'n, Cap'n... Talk to Rich would ya?
(I know, I know... it is what he asked but, play along)
Thanks guys!
