I rebuilt the front end on my 69 impala and its a pain in the ass to compress the coil springs to get them back in.Its easy to get them out using a chain and a floor jack.I rented a coil spring compressor from auto zone that had a spoon shape to the bottom of it i think next time i will buy a nice one that has two hooks on each end.The one i rented made me nervous.
