depends what kinda gem...if its an rb ignore the following.
jack up underneith the crossmember...to let the controll arms sag down on either side. take the wheels off....and there u have it 1 nut and bolt on either side.....but by the sounds of it i think u mean the springs...in which case a good set of spring decompressors are needed an a bit more buggerin around........... |

| What exactly are you wanting to do, and on what car (RB/T?)??? Shocks are simple, springs are a pain in the butt, but all simple enough with a gregorys manual and some tools. |

| A set of spring compressors, and somethin to pry em out that last bit. And yeah i'd recommend a gregorys manual to give you a step by step on how to get em out. Simple enough job, just fiddly and frustrating in bits... |
