95 1.6 Replacing a rear coil spring. - hwgminx
Had the car up for the annual mot test and it failed on account of the rear nearside coil spring being fractured. Its a super little car and well worth the repair. Ive had a quick look and the job seems pretty straight forward but any hints/tips would be appreciated. Am i right in thinking a spring compressor is gonna be needed?

I've done one of these, and IIRC you just jack the car up and drop the rear axle. I didn't use a spring compressor, and it is simple.

Drop the rear shockers off and be carefull with the brake flexi the spring should come out ok, then you will need to jack up the axle to fit the shockers back on.
