You got cahones grabbing the spring and putting in place and banging it all over the place. I rented same compressor from auto zone and that thing was a grenade waiting to go off! Open up before I even grabbed it several times. When fully compressed I was tapping it with a breaker bar to give me confidence in had a “safe compress”. Kept failing with little taps. Ended up buying a new one on Amazon😂
I too have since purchased a different. The problem is you need a centerline if using standard height spring where the screw shaft can go into the factory hole so you can pull it back out once the spring is in place. I hate those things. Next time I'm installing coilovers and will never use the old coil springs again.
Nice work! How did you remove the spring compressor if the bolt hex was at the top? Having done this a few times, I've always gone through the bottom. I ended cutting the bolt on the spring compressor. I can't picture how you did it and I was waiting for it in the video, but it's edited out. Thanks.
I just used a part of wrenches to loosing it until the control arm and the upper housing mount had the tension. Then the forks and clamps loosen. I remove them from the bolt, and then dropped the bolt out from the bottom of the control arm.
What's the name of the spring compressor tool. Along with the part # and were did you get it from ? Love your 3rd gen content got a 92 Camaro rs that I'm put a Ls1 / 4l60E that I swapping in.
Thanks for the comments. More video's coming very shortly. Here is the tool I used for this video. www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07JKDCZV5/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 I have a black 92 Z28 in another video that I just swapped the torque arm out on. Later this summer it that ride will be getting an LS2 bored over .30 with a stroker crank paired with an 4L70E that I just had rebuilt. Love the power an LS gives these cars.
@3rdgenworkshop MAN YOU WOULD LOVE MY MEDIUM QUASAR METALIC BLUE 92 ANIVERSREY CAMARO Z28 THAT I ORDERED NEW BACK IN 92 AND JUST 19 THOUSAND ORIGINAL MILES AND ALL ORIGINAL EXCEPT FOR EXHAUST.

@@3rdgenworkshop Great Thanks!
I'm not sure if it would work with the original crossmember. I'll try it one day.
It should. I did it on my 92 Z28. Factory K-Member with Detroit Speed Control arms. Worked fine.
@@3rdgenworkshop Great Thanks!
Thanks
No problem

You have quite a few 3rd gens
LOL, yes 5 currently. It might be an addiction at this point. Each of them in some state of work to upgrade.
