Default Front suspension spring change out

Found this one on U tube, Clearest one I have seen.

First time I have seen a hollowed out extension bar as well


Cheers
Steve

Perfect! Thanks Steve!

Yeah! What would that tool be called? I'll get one for sure. A thing, that makes things easier, in this ol life, is worth something.

You cut a socket in half, and weld a tube in between the two halves. It's a homemade tool.

Amazon Amazon

Makita B-43387 Hollow Socket, 3/4 x 24-Inch



Makita seems to make 24" long sockets. Amazon has 'em in 3/4" and 9/16", but there may be others?

I think the 12 inch would be long enough. At 23$, a bargain if you think time is money. I just ordered, thanks, the Wisdom of crowds is amazing.
