Ahhh... suspension work... doesn't it sucks ***?

I remember how aggravated I got when replacing my springs. Just have to be patient, and if it's not working walk away and try again later.

So on the next one. Lift up. Undo ONLY the piston bolt. Lower, Undo the bolts and remove. NOT the tophat bolts?? Unless that wasnt even the issue.
