How-to change rear spring pads
 
I want to switch my 2 bump rear spring pads with 1 bump pads. Do I need a spring compressor or can the spring be removed when the shock is off?

Thank you

Jorg

if you want to risk Serious injury, sure! If not, use the compressor..

I'm not that familiar with the rear end set-up. On some cars the shock restricts the drop of the rear axle when unloaded so when the shock is removed the axle drops enough that the spring is no longer under tension and can be removed with no risk. The 124 is not like that?
