you dont need to unbolt the calipers

the lines wont snap when the control arm is lowered?

[The LO C]

Unbolt the sway bar, the lower shock mount and the inner control arm...that's it.

Do I unbolt these while the car is raised? I was referring to jnenads instruction on a different thread, where you use a hydraulic jack under the control arm unbolt the shock and lower the jack then pull out the spring.

[The LO C]

Throw a jack under the control arm and compress the spring, then unbolf the arm (2 bolts) then lower the jack and the spring will drop out.

there is no need to unbolt the control arm. the spring will come out without it loosened up. just follow my instructions in the other thread and you should be fine. the only thing you might need to do is pull down on the lower control arm to free up the spring, and then just pull it out of its seat.

or just get a klann compressor, then you dont even have to take the wheels off. ;)
