I see...I'm not really sure why it is necessary to hold the spring captive though. If the LCA pivots on the bushings then wouldn't there still be a lot of force on the bolts? I assume you do one bushing at a time, so I would think the only thing really keeping it together is the opposite bolt which is still in place while you work on one bushing. Are there some printed instructions that came with the kit you got that you could scan and post?
