coil springs ml320 how to replace

[yellow951]

Please save what's left of my fingers! HELP

I have read as much as I could find about the rear springs. I have a 98 ML320. I just did the front suspension (bushings, shocks, tierods) and now need to do the rear. I have new spings and new shocks, but am having a tough time getting started. All nuts on the shocks are solid rust and don't look like they want to play nice.I saw that someone had instructions...If it's not too much trouble could someone send them over?!?

Thanks!!!

BTW anyone have any trouble with the radio not getting signal? I checked the booster and it looks like it is working.

Hi
Its a piece of cake. All you need is a Jack, axle stands and a cheap coil spring compressor. Just google'd coil spring compressors and found this.

http://www.discount-tooling.co.uk/s...ols/68615-2pc-coil-spring-compressor-set.html

If you don't think you will ever use the compressor again stick on ebay and get your money back.

It should not take any more than 1 hour. I would give the bolts a spray with wd-40 a couple of days before though!
