OK, how do I do THIS??? A word of caution

[Simon.MATTHEWS@st.com]

     I would like to caution everyone to be very careful when working with 
     front suspension springs -- when compressed, they contain a lot of 
     energy -- sudden release of this energy can be dangerous! Very! 
     
     For example: my wife's grandmother came out of her apartment to find a 
     neighbour lying under his car surrounded by a pool of blood and a coil 
     spring through his neck! Luckily he survived. 
     
     There is no time to get out of the way if things go wrong.
     
     Regards,
             Simon
