Re: KR Wilson spring spreader continued, sort of
Hi Lawson,
I agree in general with Bill. This is what I did last year:
- Jack stands under frame
- Place one jack under the middle of the axle
- Put another jack under the brake drum (wheel off)
- Alternate between the extending the spring spreader and raising the jacks. The center jack under center of axle is for stability but with most of the jacking under the brake drum
- Go slowly since you are looking for a flattened spring but not too far or it will bind the shackles.
Front springs are much easier to remove than rears.
