How long does it take to change a front coil spring on a Peugeot 206
I would not use this on a Heavy duty type of spring. This has a tendency to slip off the spring and does not have a long range of travel.
AS long as it is not sold as a Mercedes.
I've owned Mercedes Benz since I was 19, and they are the best for oil changes. The oil change is every 25,000 km.
Understand, at any point you can loose a finger, or kill yourself. Other than that, no problem. Strut is out of the car. The tool for struts is two long bolts with hooks on each end. Extend the bolts as far as possible to catch the last loop of the coil spring possible. Place on each side of the spring and tighten each a bit until the spring comes away from the plate at the top of the coil. With the spring compressed remove the center nut on the strut. An air impact is the only real way to do this. Remove the top plate, remove the spring, still compressed, and change the strut. reverse the process to assemble. Make sure the ends of the springs are seated in the notch in both top and bottom plates when removing spring compressors. Loosen each a bit till loose. You CAN NOT use the compressor for older coil springs that have one bolt in the middle.
Good question.
You buy or rent, if possible, coil spring compression tools. They are long all-thread hardened bolts with a part at each end that slips over the coil. Turning the bolt will bring the end pieces together and compress the spring to allow it's removal. As a rule, if this is the front end of a vehicle, you will also have to remove either the upper or lower ball joint.
pull the coil packs off and get a long socket, or a long extension
It's takes me about three hours labor.
You want to set your machine up as a long stroke for shading. Soft spring action, and about a 2 nickel space on the top coil. You want a soft spring and long stroke so that the needle physically takes longer to hit the skin. Keep your voltage down low.
