Spring Installation
Hey guys, I did a search for "spring" and "spring installation" and "suspension" and nothing relevant came up.
Are there any guides here or someone that can help with lowering spring installation on 04 Civic coupe? The front struts look all connected and stuff and I can't get those out like the rears.
I downloaded that manual but there's no way to get to the suspension (it's grey'ed out).
Any help? Any guides I can follow?

What kind of struts do you have?
NM^ What knid of springs do you have. Do you have a spring Compressor
take out the 2 bolts from the stearing knuckle, take off the tie rod ends(nut&seperate from knuckle), remove the brake line from the knuckle (nut). Then all you should have is the 3 bolts on top. when you have the thing out, mark which side faced outwards on the top and bottom so you can try and line it up later. Compress and while compressed use an impact to remove the bastard nut on the top middle. Remove and reinstall the opposite way.
