Leveling springs
Broke one of the leveling springs yesterday on my dp. I found part number already and a lot of places to buy them. How hard is it to change them? Is it easy to do and is there any tricks to do it?

Might need a vice grip on the pad incase the angle gets to much the jack slips. A vice grip might be enough of a block to keep that from happening.oldchief7155 wrote:
Won'the work on a DP. Springs too short and way to strong.
if a mega ton bottle jack won't stretch them how on earth can you do it. a hydraulic cylinder stretches them when in use, why won't it stretch one of them to install it. and if the makeshift shims etc. will stretch the spring????
