Here are links to the work I did on my '37. I have a '40 110 sedan as well that I may be rebuilding; they look pretty similar.https://packardinfo.com/xoops/html/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=22640&forum=1&post_id=218333#forumpost218333https://packardinfo.com/xoops/html/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=22640&forum=1&post_id=218536#forumpost218536

I did remove one of the springs on mine using jackstands, a floor jack and a spring compressor, along with a healthy respect for avenues of escape if Things Went Badly.

Removing it was not that big of a deal. Installing it was a PITA.

And it turned out that the inner bushings were just fine, so I didn't replace either of them. I did the rest of the suspension without having to remove the other spring.
