i did my fronts 4 times jhm2k's 2 times and it damn near killed me!! this is the easiest fastest and SAFEST way to drop the springs. the sway bar bolts are a 13mm deep well for 1 and shallow for the other. just remove the clamp and pull the bar away. i leave the top of the shock bolted and drop the bolt out of the bottom. let it compress and slip it out of the way.
im down to about 20 mins. per side with the tool. remember the large hole plate goes on the bottom and use the center of the coil to install the plates then spin them as far up and down as they will go. slide the tool into the bottom and lock it at the top. compress and voila!!
