Yes. I had to soak mine for a couple weeks. Don't be surprized when the spring comes out broken at the bottom.

is PB Blast ok or is there a more powerful rust inhibitor on the market?
Thats what I used. Maybe try tapping them with a 5# hammer or even heat. I wasnt' in a rush on mine. I just hit them with spray everytime I walked by them.

LS swaps are the hair implants of the car world. Sure the owner is proud, but everyone else is laughing.
Got the spring out held it with one hand a took the air chisel around the bottom till it popped.
big breaker bar, lots of cool words that can't be repeted outside of the garage.
Is there anybody in the st.louis area that would like to sell their MM Spring Installation Tool?
not to bust on this thread but when you put the new ones in what if the spring doesnt sit exactly in the lowest part of the arm perch. Will it settle in after a few rides?
