<Important Note> Changing coil springs can be dangerous even with the proper tools. Raise and support your Civic. Remove wheel. Open hood or trunk. Remove any brake lines that are attached to the shock/strut assembly. Remove the 2 upper shock/strut nuts. <Important Note>DO NOT remove the center nut on shock/strut assembly as this will release the coil spring from the assembly. The result will be that the spring(which is still under pressure) can (and usually will) come flying out with a huge amount of force. Remove the lower shock/strut nut and bolt. Remove the shock/strut assembly from your Civic. <Important Note>You will now need a spring compressor tool which can be rented from your local retail auto parts store. When the coil spring is compressed, remove the center nut on your shock/strut assembly. Now you can safely remove the coil spring. Installation is the reverse of disassembly. <NOTE> These instructions only apply to OEM shocks/struts.
