The manual says you need a whole bunch of special tools to work on the rear end componants. Anyone do these type jobs whith out buying all these special tools?
What you're worried about in this job is the spring getting away from you. It's under a tremendous amount of pressure (1/4 of the total weight of the car) and if you let it go suddenly it can cause injury or death. What you should have is spring compressors to keep the tension on the spring and let the rear control arm go. If you're not comfortable doing this, you should have someone do it for you.
