So if 67 Lamnas think this is dangerous he has done it the wrong way, what is dangerous is taking the spring out without a compressor espescally when you loosen the knuckle and use a jack to lower the arm, then you for sure has no control over the spring.
And yes I have done it the wrong way several times in my teens when I did not know better..

I don't think it's dangerous if uninstalled or installed properly IMHO
