I searched but couldn't find an answer to this question:
How do you take off the shock spring? I want to remove the stock spring and install the heavier BBR spring but I can't budge the locknuts at the top of the spring. I have the top of the shock detached from the frame. I tried tapping the nuts with a screwdriver but all that did was mar the nuts. They didn't move.
Any hints? Do I need a spring compressor? Is there a way to make one out of stuff around the garage? Need help fast.
