HAD TO CUT THE SPRINGS OFF AS A LAST RESORT COS WE HAD SO MANY PROBLEMS TRYING TO GET THEM OUT

as i said, last resort was cutting them

first the bolt would not come off, we WD40'd it up, still wouldnt budge. then put the longest ratchet on we could find, then got an old 8 foot exhuast and put that on the end of the ratchet for ultimate leverage and it still wouldnt budge!!! we then tried spring clamps, but wasnt enuff room to fit em on, we then tried getting them out with a crow bar which almost worked but still couldnt get it. we looked online and apparently every1 with the focus lx model like mine was having the same problem.
