That looks potentially dangerous if that top nut is rusted or gone... there would be nothing holding it on in that case!

If people did that, those of us bored at work wouldn't have anything to respond to.

Bored at work and browsing the internet to kill time? You must work for the government. Any job openings?

Shops around here charge $15-$20 to remove the springs from the two shocks. Then the same to put them back. Its takes 5 minutes to remove both with the compression machine they have.
