[QUOTE="Snorky, post: 1519424, member: 29157"] Keep the jack stands under the car where they belong... Do you have 1 spring in? If so. Remove it... Then use the pump jack under the pumpkin and raise the axle up slowly to get the height in the balk park that way you can push it or roll the axle forward or backward to get it close. Then use the sacrificial screw driver to stick it in the lca/axle mount hole and pry to align the other side where you stick the bolt in to start it. Tap it in with a mallet. At this point it might not go through the other side of the mount. You can try to raise or lower the jack slightly to get the hole to align better. Then tap it with a mallet or hammer or use a ratchet or impact to get it to thread itself the rest of the way through. Then worry about getting the springs In. Can always use the pump jack axle ends method there and stand on the hub/lift up on the fender for extra leverage and someone else stab the spring in. [/QUOTE]
