Re: Coil Spring Installation

As impossible as it seems a spring compressor is not needed due to Packard's incomparable engineering. We recently completed replacement of front springs on a '37 120 using the guidance of the '37 Shop Manual. What is needed is to loosen the 2 bolts on each side that hold the lower inner pin assembly, retract the nuts almost all the way.
Just when you think it won't work, while juggling all relevant parts the spring falls out.
Going back in is easier as you already learned the tricks.
