Removal and installation the rear suspension coil spring [Toyota Land Cruiser J100]

1. Support the front wheels with wheel chocks. Jack up the rear of the car and place it on supports.

2. Support the rear axle assembly with a trolley jack.

3. Pass the safety chain through the spring coils and bolt the ends together, thereby eliminating the risk of the spring accidentally jumping out during the process of lowering the rear axle assembly, make sure that the chain has a sufficient length reserve to allow the spring to straighten completely.

4. Loosen the lower mounting bolt of the left rear shock absorber (see section Removal and installation rear shock absorbers).

5. Disconnect the anti-roll bar from the rear axle (see section Removal and installation the rear anti-roll bar).

6. Loosen the lower mounting bolt of the right rear shock absorber (see section Removal and installation rear shock absorbers).

8. Slowly lower the rear axle assembly, ensuring sufficient clearance to remove the spring, being careful not to damage the brake lines.

9. Installation is carried out in the reverse order. Make sure that the end of the spring is seated correctly in the seat. Tighten all fasteners with the required force.
