In order to remove the spring, you have to remove the 4 bolts holding lower control arm shaft. First, however, you need to place a hydraulic jack under the control arm, with a slight bit of tension. This allows you to gradually relieve the tension in the spring. (I tried using a spring compressor, but it wouldn’t fit. The manual actually recommends the jack approach!) Guys, this is dangerous, especially when you put it back together.
