Put it on Jackstands, pull the wheels off, chain / strap until just snug in that position. No need to compress further. The chain/strap is just there to prevent "rapid uncompressing" in the chance event all hell breaks loose.

Okay, thanks Kev. I had an overhead garage door spring break and go sqirrely on me years ago and just about lost a couple of fingers, so I have a healthy respect for the kinetic force stored in a compressed spring!!! Chris.

Does anyone have good contact information for Five Points Classic Shocks that West mentioned? I found their website that has very minimal information. The phone number just goes to a recording so you can leave a message, but the mailbox is full and you can't leave a message. Then, they list an email address, but that just gets returned as undeliverable because the address is no longer valid. Are they still in business? I have found a lot of great reviews, but everything I've found is from 10+ years ago.

I used Apple Hydraulics for 1937 120 front shocks about 9 months ago. Good service and good work. Shocks now have about 4775 miles on them with no issues.

I agree with Apple. I called them, and they picked up the phone. When I told them what I had, he immediately knew the Delco Lovejoy part number of my shocks.
