But DAMN They put up an epic battle... o2 housing > dp bolts... 4 hours of messing with them they are back in their homes, with pieces of zip-ties still on the contact points that will never come out either, lol...

 

LOL! your not the only ones lol. cut the springs, thats what we did

 

Yah what Jake said. Just take 1 coil out. You will still have to push a little but they will give you way less of a headache again later.

 

We got them back in using zipties to help compress the springs, but they're probably too tight... Oh well, drove to Puyallup and back and the exhaust didn't fall off so .... yeah they're there lol.

 

i never use springs.. lol used a bolts and washer that all.. never had problems
