TerribleTed13,

Thanks for the info. I was talking to someone yesterday about making the improvised tool that you are talking about. However I did find one yesterday and bought it for $7. The chisel idea is great also and may resort to it if all else fails.

As far as the springs go I thought that I was talking with somebody a while ago about this problem and he said that there might be a way to use a strap of some sort to hold the spring in place if the front end was to rise that high.??

Also, what reference material are you using for the bolt torque??
The Haynes book say the Driveaxle to flange bolts should be 48#'s for M8 bolts and 74#'s for M10 bolts w/locking teeth and 61#'s without locking teeth. I personally don't know which of these bolts I have or will be using.

Thx again,
Jack
