Re: Sanity check on lubing springs in place
There may be some confusion, I'm not planning to disassemble the springs. I'm just trying to lift the frame away from them slightly so that I can get up as close as possible to spray them with the lubricant. They're not coming off the axles.
I know there's a lot of cautionary tales out there about the stored energy in the springs, hence the recommendation of a spreader for the rear springs. What I'm trying to figure out is, am I OK just lifting the frame off them briefly without the spreader? Or do I need to do the lubrication with the frame in place, per Bob Bidonde's suggestion?
