Easier said than done.I tried swapping springs on the blue Tornado with some spring compressor thingies.It was getting too dangerous. Way too much force built up in the spring tension, and I knew that if something slipped then I'd cop some broken bones in my fingers. I ended up taking the shocks and springs to a suspension place the next day.http://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/89684-2006-fpv-tornado-f6-ute-cleanup-resurrection/#entry1521309And yeh....difference is when I f*ck something up...I just cry, get frustrated and give up and call the expert. Then I would have wasted time, effort and end up being in a worse position I.e. can't drive it to the mechanic cause I've buggered it up. Plus where I live sucks balls for working on car (single driveway/garage, angled driveway, just a bad time all round really LOL) I've had some ripper moments here... 5am... can't figure out how to put something back together... angry... frustrated.. wanna give up... but the taxi has to be back in one piece and working before the day driver turns up at around 7am.Can't really call people for advice at 5am. Although I have since found someone who's on call at night for $55 an hour.However, having a go at something and failing is useful... you might not achieve the final objective, but you've still explored and learned something. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
