Smitty,

A big 10-4. Thanks.

Im planning to follow the bently manual, and leave the brake lines intact.

My plan is to disconnect where the lines are bolted to the fender well, and then lean the whole thing out with a piece of rope ,or something, to keep it going to far. From your experience, does this sound practical?

Also, can you tell me how far you have to compress the springs for this job.
Do you really have to crank em down? Or maybe just a small amount?

What kind of compressors did you use?


Thanks

Lawrence
