To replace the strut you have to jack up the car on the side you want to do and take off the wheel. Then, take it loose from the strut tower on the top. There are 3 or 4 nuts. Then take it loose from the steering knuckle on the bottom. The whole strut assembly lifts out. To replace the coil you have to have a strut compressor. It compresses the coil spring so the top of the strut can come off. Once the top of the strut is exposed the coil can be taken off the strut.

How can you replace the front coil springs on a 1990 muatang gt with out buying the ford coil spring compressor?

**** BE CAREFUL DOING THIS YOURSELF ***** **** DO NOT ATTEMPT WITHOUT A COIL SPRINNG COMPRESSOR **** You DO NOT want to see what happens when you pry the coil spring out of there with a crow bar. Like those teeth and that pretty face? Dont do it.... The coil spring may decompress spring out and hit you in the head. It would not be pretty. Please take it to a shop and have them do it or worst ccase, buy the Ford spring compressor. It WILL be much cheaper than the medical bills or funeral expenses.
