I am restoring my '74 SD455 TA and need to remove the could springs. My problem is that with engine out and everything else off the front, when i put the jack under the lower a-arm to compress the spring (per GM shop manual) the frame lifts off the jackstand before the spring even tries to compress. I've tried every angle, but cannot get my could spring comressors on the spring. Any ideas?

Wrap a chain around the frame and hook it to your floor jack . That way when you jack up on the lower control arm , the frame can't move .

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
