Default Imma perty strong dude :)

I had a new beetle experience that I bet most dubbers haven't heard of or tried ,today in shop was a normal day,tinkering on cars and such. Recently I've installed 2" drop springs on the front,wasn't able to get around to the rear until today.

So,upon removal of the rear springs I had a close call with a spring compressor coming loose due to lack of space available,upon install I decided to use my bare hands...

Sure enough,I was able to compress the rear springs with my bare hands and install them without a compressor or any trouble...The guys were freakin',I was all,"what?Its no big deal,I'm no weakling".lol

-i hate boasting,but I'm sure this is an uncommon practice,I just felt as though I had something cool to share,a new beetle experience ...

WHEW. I'm glad you didn't get hurt by that spring compressor.

NEVER use a spring compressor on a spring that's still on a vehicle.

NEVER EVER EVER.

But way to go man. I'm glad to hear you got it done.
