250# boingers - going in tonight! Uh, maybe...., Whut am I getting into???? Options

[Joseph Mills]

A kind member of this board sent some 250# springs for my pushing Porscheee. Will it be too much? I can't wait to find out. I'd sure LOVE to be able to play with my "adjustable" front sway bar (instead of leaving it on total soft all the time).

I've never done this before. What am I getting into? Do I need any special tools? I've got a six-pack and a friend coming over to help.

It looks like I need to (along with stoopid questions):

Remove the nut at the top of the shock.
Remove the big nut on the outside of the suspension arm (how do I keep the bolt from spinning?)
Slide, or hammer (?) the bolt out from the shock.
Do I need to remove the CV joint?
Drop the shock down and slide the spring up and off (or is there a top retainer?)

Yup. I definitely need some ADVICE! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) Please stand by this evening, you may need to talk me down.

The sixer will be opened after the tool boxes are closed.... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/drunk.gif)
