[s-cars] '94 UrS4 rear spring replacement

[Theodore Chen]

There are different styles of spring compressors out there.  I got this one:

I haven't tried it on the UrS4 yet, though.

Other methods I've seen involve compressing the spring off the car, then using hose clamps, cable, nylon rope, etc. to keep the spring compressed.  After installing the assembly, cut the rope, cable, etc.  Use this method at your own risk.

Anyone have any advice, or a written up procedure on replacement of the
rear springs?
I managed to get the assembly out, and mostly back in, but now can't get
the bottom bolt in.
I need to compress the strut, but I am really having trouble fitting the
spring compressors in there.

I have managed so far without removing anything other than the wheel and
the strut itself. Is there something else I should remove to find more
space?

Thanks for any help!
Duncan
