Scott Fisher #1 reminds me that L can stand for Large. I guess I was on leave
that day.

I've gone out to the garage and read the manual now. It says, essentially,
jack up the car, put it on stands, take off the rear wheel, put a jack under
the trailing arm, undo the shock link, lower the jack, take out the spring.
What do you think, guys? twenty minutes if you don't have to move three cars
to get room in the garage, don't have to search for the jackstands, don't have
to lower the car again to get the lug nuts loose, don't use a whole can of
WD40 on the shock link 'cuz you don't have an impact wrench and don't have to
bleed the jack first?
It takes *me* all day, but I'm not a pro and getting paid by the minute...
It's not involved. If the shop is quoting you a lot of labor, ask what they
are doing *besides* R&R rear road springs.
