Spring removal - a Hail Mary
Before I dive into replacing my rear springs on 2000 S, is there any way to do this that doesn't involve removing calipers, braces, ball joints and other. I thought someone had mentioned a guy with a cayman was somehow able to do it without all the additional work. Maybe I dreamt it.
My mechanic mentioned for the front to just leave the tires on and jack the front end up, take off fastening nut, loosen three bolts on strut mount and I should be able to get springs out and back on. Now I may have misinterpreted but does it make sense that I only loosen the three strut mount nuts. He said he would charge me an hour to do. He's porsche factory trained, 20 year dealership mechanic/head mechanic and now an indie.
Also, I will borrow a spring compressor from auto zone. Is it the McPherson or non McPherson I need. I borrowed both a while back and I can't not remember which one worked. Thanks in advance.
