All it takes is a basic set of metric wrenches/sockets. I believe 14mm, 17mm, 19mm, and 24mm will cover it... maybe a 10 or 12 for the e-brake cable bracket bolt. Start spraying everything with PB Blaster now and repeat daily until you do the project. If you can turn a bolt, you can replace leaf springs. The fuel pump is pretty basic as well. Unbolt skid plate, unbolt tank supported by floor jack, lower a bit and then disconnect hoses/electrical connections, lower the rest of the way, unbolt pump, replace, repeat above steps in reverse order.

However, lowering UNDER CONTROL and without hurting yourself is best done with the tank as close to empty as possible. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" /> Jim Paget 88 YJ with a few changes www.rrr4x4.com Re: busted leaf springs [Re: myfrstrodeo] #845259 11/06/07 02:38 AM Joined: Sep 2007 Posts: 7 M myfrstrodeo OP Need a Spot thanx for the tips. that makes me feel better about everything. after replacing the alternator in my 98 chevy s10 2.2, thats lowered 2in.i know lowered trucks are not your guys style but i did it with out removing anything out of the way.
