The rears are REAL EASY. Just jack the car up by lifting the rear axle and put jack stands under the frame...slowly drop the rear axle and let it droop down...the springs will almost fall out.

undo the lower shock mount...that'll drop the rear enough to pop the spring right out <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />
