I say rusty and stuck bolts are the worst. Make sure to have some lube or pb blaster... Good luck!!!

I just put a BB on my WJ this weekend. One thing that will save you lots of time is letting the jack do the work for you. Disconnect the sway bars and jack the axle up as high as you can. Put the spring compressor on the coil springs, tighten it, and drop the axle down. The springs will slide right out. This saved us a lot of time. Hope this helps.

Put the Jeep on jackstands under the frame. Disconnect the sway bar and jack up the oppopsite side of the axle. The spring will pop right out. If you really need to use the spring compressor, jack up the axle to compress the spring, then put on the compressor. Let the axle down and the spring will fall out out.
