[QUOTE="alloy500, post: 9302282, member: 75676"] That was the method I used when swapping my springs, and it worked quite well. Compress the spring using the LCA with a small jack, remove the upper nut, slowly release the pressure with the small jack. One thing of note here, all spring tension, in my case, was not released, a very small amount was still applying pressure on the 2 lower strut bolts, which required tapping out with a hammer. Overall, it was a smooth procedure, installing the new springs is easier since they are shorter. Hope this helps and remember to use logic and respect the sleeping giant that is bound up spring tension. [/QUOTE]
