I took the spring off from the other wheel and took pictures each step of the way. I changed 2 steps. One was that I unbolted the bearing support, the other I re-mounted the wheel and tire so that I didn't need to use a jackstand.

Here is the link, clink on 126 coil...

I see how you did it, but I have one very important question. Have you gotten it back together??, correctly?

I will take pictures when I put it back together and show the assembly. It might take a couple of days as I am first cleaning and painting all the parts. Then I need to install the ball joints, control arm bushings and bearing support bushings.
