FWD Hybrid rear spring removal tip.

[Vaportrail]

I watched installation/removal videos for rear springs on YouTube, but discovered an easier way.

Once both sides are on stands, and both shocks removed, let the support jack down until the brake line is fully straightened, but not stretched.

At this point I just popped the spring out with a big pry bar, instead of screwing around with spring compressors, or unbolting anything needlessly.

Well, I didn't loosen the calipers.

Also don't have a lift, to make life easier.

Still very simple with Jack stands, floor jack and pry bar.
