We usually take out two bolts on opposite corners of the spring perch /
a arm bracket. Insert a 3/8 threaded rod and nuts on each end. (Double
on one end). After both are tightened, take out the opposite two bolts
then start cranking the nuts down on the threaded rod. Very helpful to
have an " O-Ratchet and socket kit" , in place of moving the wrench
every so many inches. Others may have better ideas, this works for us.

Subject: [Healeys] Front coil spring removal
My spring compressor won't fit in the spaces provided on a Healey. The
engine
and Trans are out. Any suggestions for somewhat safe removal procedures?
