Instructions for Straight Coil Springs:
Install 3 leg assemblies evenly around the spring. Turn nuts finger-tight to hold in position. Install one S-bolt near the center of each leg with open end pointing away from the spring. Place the bar and wing nuts on the S-bolt, then finger-tighten the wing nuts. Tighten each leg nut a little at a time to compress spring gradually. Do not over-compress. To release the compressor, loosen each leg nut a little at a time. INSTRUCTIONS FOR CURVED COIL SPRINGS: With the car raised and safely supported, place a jack under the lower control arm. Raising the jack will compress the spring. Install as many leg assemblies and safety S-bolts as possible (see #1 & #2 above), then finger-tighten the leg nuts. Disconnect the lower control arm bolts, then slowly lower the jack until the spring can be removed. The curved contour will remain. To install a new coil spring, use one or more legs and S-bolts to produce the necessary curve. NOTE: Keep the threaded portion of the legs clean and well greased.
