I took off the struts with no problem . I need to compress the spring another 1 1/2" to screw the top nut back on . Why is this so difficult ? Tried doing the monkey dance on top of the spring for about an hour or so .
It looks like I need to rent another pair of compressor to make it work . Is there a trick to this model car ? Any websites ,pics , videos ?

Harder that you thought and you need to get to work on Monday. Many times auto supply stores have a better spring compressor and they will swap out your shocks. For a Price$ rear springs however are much easier. You need two people one to push the spring pearch and one to start the nut. You are just experencing the regular problem of the five coil loops there is not much spring to grab and the bottom spring pearch gets in the way. See why Technician charges 2.0 hours Get the alignment done sometime soon.

You the two did not seat the spring right or you probably did not compress the spring adequate in the previous you tightened the final nut, attempt to tighten the final nut on an identical time as the strut is fastened interior the vehicle, the load of the front end can push the spring down adequate so which you will tighten it each and each of ways.
