Just use a pry bar or large screw driver to pry open the springs a tad and it should fit in there.

Same way. Put a large screw driver or pry bar inbetween two of the coils of the spring right by the compressor. You should be able to pry open the springs a little and pop it right out.

Kicks,

You should've asked us to help you (LOST Rockies). We feel cheated out of a lift or "anything KJ" party.

Trust me: this is nothing close to being a party. I requested to have new Ranchos ordered by 4wheelparts three weeks ago. I went there this morning, and they hadn't ordered any. I guess I should have called before I performed arm and elbow surgery on Pepe the 2nd. :( Now I'm just trying to put him back together with the new springs, but old struts. I have to get to work and school this week! Pepe and I look pretty mornful. Also, the screwdriver/pry bar idea is not working! YARRRR!

You don't have the same compressors I have. You have them that have the cast iron kooks on them, right? The compressors I have cost about 20 to 30 dollars, I think. AmPro is the brand.
Part #T70570
UPC #9560970570

By the way, how's yer business doin? I finally put a roof rack on. I need lights now, and a switch panel and switches.

Well if using a pry bar isn't working, try unthreading the compressors, then prying the spring coils wide enough to get each hook in and then re-thread it. I had to that on the left side coil for my lift.
