My D250 is sagging bad in the front and i already purchased new coil springs but i dont have a repair manual. Does any one have a good link that shows you what you need and how to do it?

ok I can't find much online, so I'll just read it straight from the FSM. I tried to scan it, but can't get it to work.
Removal
1- raise vehicle on hoist. Position support stands on frame and lower front hoist. Remove front tire.
2- remove brake caliper assembly.
3- remove shock absorber.
4- remove lower control arm strut.
5- Install spring compressor (tool #dd-1278) in the spring. Tighten the nut finger tight, then loosen the nut 1/2 a turn.
6- remove cotter pins and ball joint nuts.
7- install ball stud remover (tool # c-3564-a) on the lower ball stud. Turn the threaded portion of the tool and lock the tool securely against the lower stud. expand the tool enough to place force on the lower ball stud. strike the steering knuckle sharply with a hammer to loosen the stud. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO FORCE THE STUD OUT OF THE STEERING KNUCKLE WITH THE LOOSENING TOOL.
8- remove the loosening tool. slowly loosen the coil spring compressor tool until all tension is relieved from the spring. remove the spring compressor and spring with the rubber isolation pad.
Installation
1- position the spring and isolation pad on the suspension arm. install the spring compressor tool. compress the spring until the lower suspension arm can be properly positioned in the steering knuckle.
2- install the nuts on the ball studs. tighten the upper nut to 105 ftlbs. tighten the lower nut. if nut is 11/16-16 bolt, tighten to 135 ftlbs. If bolt is 3/4-16 tighten to 175 ftlbs. Then install replacement cotter pins.
3- install the strut.
4- connect the stabalizer bar.
5- install the shock absorber.
6- install the brake splash shield on the steering knuckle. tighten the screws to 200 inch lbs.
7- carefully install the hub/ rotor and bearings.
8- install the brake caliper.
9- install the wheel and tire. lower the vehicle.
10- test vehicle brakes for proper operation.

I think my words per minute has doubled! There is a pic, it shows a screw type expansion tool (tool # c-3564-a) to push from the upper ball joint stud to the lower stud to push it out. I have done 1/2 ton springs with a regular heavy duty spring compressor and not the special one from the book. good luck! Any more info needed just let me know.

 

WOW! thank you for your help!!! I appreciate you taking time to type it out!!!

 

No problem. i just wish I could get the scanner to work so you can see the pic, sorry. I love how it tells you to put the rotor/hub back on but never told you to take it off hope it helps! Good luck!!
