Instuctions On How To Install Tein Springs

*PHILLY-ORANGE* · 02-17-2004, 04:18 PM

Things you will need are:
14mm socket wrench
11/16 socket
screw driver
spring compressers
jack
and about 4 hours of time

How to install the rear spring
1.Begin by taking off the rear deck there are 3 bolts take the nuts off all 3. (look at pic 1)
2.Take the clip off the brake line with a screw driver it just pops off.(pic 2)
3.Take off the nut that is connected to the linkage of the sway bar it's very tight.(pic 3)
4.Take off the 2 nuts that are connected to the rotor also very tight (pic 4)
5.The spring will fall out now use your spring compresser and compress the spring and take the top nut off. (pic 5)

yes, but taking off the rear deck is a "how-to" of its own....

*PHILLY-ORANGE* · 02-17-2004, 04:25 PM

6.Now your spring is done (pic 2)
7.Jack up the rear to help you out on the install of the spring (pic 3 )
8.Now just put everything back together

Installing the front now

1.Take off the bolts on the shock tower in the engine bay (pic 4)
2.take the brake line off (pic 5 )

3.Take off the nut to the linkage of the sway bar (pic 1)
4.Take off the 2 bolts that hold the rotor(pic 2)
5.Remove the spring and compress it to remove the spring (pic 3)
6.Reinstall everything again
7. I told you that the nuts and bolts are tight it broke my socket haha(pic 4)

if you just look at the strut the install is pretty easy. remove all bolts, remove strut. replace spring. put it back on.

There is another how to posted in the pic/vid section...mathew's DG grill install (how to).

common mods/admin...this might help someone out! This is good stuff.

EVILSRT · 02-17-2004, 08:40 PM

Ill move it.

eting_pro5 · 02-17-2004, 11:22 PM

No one can post in the How To section (at least i can't!) The mods have to move it in there. This keeps dumb shit (such as my very own How To make cheap holiday gifts out of pop cans) from flooding this section

I just tried selling a coke can motorcycle on ebay... Amazingly enough, no body wanted it..
