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?

You stretch the spring and put the washers in. That makes the spring longer. Simply hook each end in appropriate hole and extend the leveler and the washers fall out. Just make sure washers are big so they fon'T fall down inside spring. NO need for bottle jack. I'be done mine several times.
The hardest part for me is getting up off the ground!!!
how exactly do you stretch the spring? I did it as previously posted and had no need for a vise grip or anything. the spring needs stretching. I did it as stated a fulcrum on the jack cylinder. no washer to fall out, no sweat. the only issue I had was that my springs had different types of ends/hooks on them. one was a semicircle and the other more or less just a J. to hook the semicircle one I had to hook it on first so it could be rotated, and after raising that side the J just easily snapped into the bracket.
