A real hazard .
An un named cobra owner trying to change a front spring popped the ball joint with his hand trying to hold the lower arm up . and found that holding compressed 600 lb spring is not possible and ended up loosing 1/2 of one finger and 1/4 of another .
A simple mistake with devastating results.
I learnt the same thing as a teenager working on the same type of suspension and sitting spread eagled on the drive nearly lost my willy and his two mates . That really got my attention. gaining experience can be painfull but you normally learn from it. do it once is experience do it twice is just plain stupidity.
