Do you have to remove the rubber cone thing at the top of the suspension first and does the bolt on top mount of the shocks need to be screwed down as far as it will go

the rubber at top of the springs stays there unless your fitting spacers then take them off

and the nut on the shocks i just did it till it had resistance and was squishing the bush slightly so its not loose but not all the way as the bush cant do its job as the tighter it gets the harder it is loosing its damper effect

Suspension all on now thanks for all the advice, managed to get the long spring in without clamps, removed the caliper put a scissor jack between axle and chassis and wound it open until the spring went in......Simples
