To change the front coil spring on a Citroën Xsara Picasso, first, safely lift the vehicle and remove the front wheel. Next, detach the shock absorber from the strut and remove any components that may hinder access to the coil spring, such as the anti-roll bar link and the upper strut mount. Use a coil spring compressor to safely compress the spring, then remove it from the strut assembly. Once the new spring is in place, reassemble the strut and components in reverse order, ensuring everything is securely tightened before lowering the vehicle.
Unbolt and remove
To remove the coils on a 2001 Tacoma V6, first, disconnect the battery to ensure safety. Then, remove the wheel and tire, followed by the brake caliper and rotor to access the suspension components. Unbolt the shock absorber and any other components connected to the coil spring, and use a coil spring compressor to safely compress the spring before removing it. Finally, carefully unbolt and remove the coil from the assembly.
Depends on the model and year. Some are easy and some are very hard and very dangerous to remove. If you have to compress the coil spring to remove it, my advice is to let a pro do it.
