Hello from Southwest Oklahoma,
I'm in the process of rebuilding my t-bucket. I'm using coilovers from Total Performance on the rear axle. I would like to disassemble the coilovers to re-paint them (just a little surface rust on them now). What is the proper way to disassemble this type of coilover (safely)? It looks like I should be able to compress the spring and slide the aluminum slotted upper spring seat off. Trouble is, my spring compressor is way too big for this job. Looking on the internet, the only coilover spring compressor I see is over $300! A little much for this one time operation. Any ideas?
