    spring's

     



    I have a great appreciation for the amount of pressure in a coil spring and don't plan on eating one. I alway's do all my work myself. I don't own a lift but have a creeper jackstand's and a hydraulic jack. I was alway's told that heat would ruin the spring.Also to take the spring out when cutting and to use a cut off wheel on a grinder. Heat the end of the spring only slightly just enough to flatten down the end coil after cutting, is this correct? Cutting only one half of a coil at a time reinstalling and checking height.
