[DML] Re: Front Coil Spring Removal





As with Martin's comment, I saw a similar removal last weekend
in about 2 minutes with the use of a cutting torch.  As Martin
said, the key is to leave everything bolted up and "captive"
while the spring cutting is being done.

Other than re-using a dozen old OEM Delorean springs on the
Monster Garage GT40 Rock Crawler, I have not found another use
for old OEM Delorean springs and many are discarded when they
are being upgraded.  Cutting them down before removal is very
good idea and is much safer if you do not have the proper tool
to remove the springs safely.

Later,
Rich W.
