Hi. Can anyone tell me how to remove the top part of the front suspension on my 92 nova. I need to separate the top bit so that i can put new spring and shock to it? Any ideas???

Get a pair of Vice Grips and stick them on tightly, that should get you away.

you need two spanners its a spoon spanner or somin i didnt have one so i went down the tyre and exhaust place and they got it off with the air gun it just came straight off.

if udonthave springclamps you can undo the top nut buy using a19mm and a 8mm spanners then undo the nut that will release the preaseure from the spring ,,the spring wont go no were cos of the steel shaftin the middle ,,but watch ure flexy pipes as it mite snap-them

remove the front stuts form the car and take them to a garage or a tyre and exhaust place and get them to put a air gun on them but clamp your springs first

Wrong, if we had said cut them out with a consaw while smoking a cigarette in a garage filled with highly flamible substances with a 220volt bare cable tied round his tool while kneeling on the switch, that would be the worst advice ever. :wink:
