Re: Changing Springs

I assume this is for your Cobra, right? If so, SN-95 springs should be a lot easier in the front than fox-body cars.

I never use pickle forks -- I've never had any luck with them and they tend to tear up the boots on the joints. Just take a BFH and whack the shit out of the side of the spindle knuckle (where the tie rod goes through). Most of the time, the tie rod will just fall out of the spindle. This method also works well when trying to seperate ball jounts from the spindle.
