Yes there is a technique, here we go with the picture:

At first I suggest you to use a motor stand and bolt it by the front engine mount.

Use a 1/2 threaded rod (the hardest one) with good washer (not the chinese one) and screw until it get loose for unbolting the top bolt of the king pin arm. After unscrew the threaded rod.


Hope this help.

Fitz.

what i did with the 59 is put a chain around the bottom 2 coils and through the a-arm, put the ends of the chain together with a bolt (have chain tight) and just raise the frame of the car until the spring pops loose. Be really carefull

thanks for the help guys , those pictures help a lot Fitz. I'm going to give it another shot tonight and I'm guessing that the shocks just unbolt on their own and slide right out from underneath? is that correct.

anyone have any alternative options for the bump stops that go under the upper control arm? i found some from a 49 ford but they are a little big. I was thinking of trying to make something but maybe someone else knows what to do.
