Ok, got the front springs out. Dunno how to get the rear ones out, the spring compressor I borrowed couldn't fit in there. But maybe I can get them out when I chop through the frame Wink

Also, I wonder how in the h#ll you're supposed to work that compressor. Even after I compressed the springs I still needed to take apart the upper control arm to get the mf out of there.

oh and a power steering pump too.

They are about 30lbs and 18in long. Would you look into the shipping and we could figure a price? There's some rust on there but would brush off with a flap disc.
I'll try and get the backs off too.

Did you use the plate compressor? You want to rotate the plates all the way to the top and bottom.

Plate compressor? I just borrowed a strut spring compressor from the autopart store

How can I get the back springs out? The bolts on that one I borrowed were way too long to fit in the area.

I've pulled the rear springs several times now. The easy way is remove the shocks, remove swaybar links, loosen the subframe mounting bolts about 1/2 inch. Put a jack under the rear diff and then unbolt the rear diff mount. Lower the rear end down and the springs just fall right out!

82 300SD aka The Flyin Pumpkin (Gone): 7.5mm super M-pump, T3 60 trim turbo, Coldish air intake, A/W intercooler, propane injection, SW Boost and EGT gauges, Monark 265 nozzles, ported/polished cylinder head.

84 Euro 300D 4 sp: White with black trunk and hood. Blue cloth interior. Manual everything. 300DT front swaybar. C320 17" wheels. Now with the Flyin Pumpkins engine!
