How-To Video: Front Spring Removal and Installation
If you frequent this forum you may have seen my recent thread titled "Front Spring Tool" (https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/x...g-tool-256321/). Big thanks to George w/ JCNA and Greg in France for all the assistance.
I discovered that there isn't a video detailing the process of removal or installation, so I made a couple. Much of it is self-explanatory, but the manual doesn't give details, so I figured videos may be of help to someone.
I used the official Jaguar tool (JD.6G) via the JCNA Coventry loaner program in conjunction with some threaded rod since I had difficulties using just the two locating pins (the videos explain more on this).
Part 1 demonstrates how I got the car high enough off the ground (and safely by my measure) to position the compressor tool through the spring pan using a floor jack - if you have a lift you don't need to worry about that part - as well as removing the spring.
Part 2 demonstrates installation.
**Please note I am NOT a professional mechanic, but I personally think this method works very well, and since it involves the Jag tool, it's much safer than the alternate "threaded rod" method.
