1. Loosen wheel bolts 17mm padded socket
2. Jack up under sill
3. Remove bolts and wheel
4. Put 2nd jack under lower arm to take tension off shock.
5. Remove lower shock bolt 16mm
6. Place a jack under opp sill to save having to remove sway bar (allows even droop)
7. Insert spring compressor plates
8. Fit and align centre shaft
9. Tighten centre bolt and check plates aligned correctly
10. Fully tighten until spring loose in seat as required.
11. Carefully remove spring and/or pad as required. (see the 4 pips, no4 pad)
