Sl Rear Spring replacement

[marlowboy]

Had a Rear Spring snap on my r320, not a pleasant ride! Local mobile mechanic changed both and I’m very glad I didn’t do DIY! He had great fun getting the various Arms off the Hub, all now done, took him 5 hours and I don’t think he is looking forward to doing it again! Next problem please....

I think that's why some mech's have those fancy compressor things where you can do the swap on the car

If you have the right spring compressor tool it's actually not too bad a job.
The one to use is the internal compressor which goes up the middle of the spring.
