610StaWag Posted August 1, 2017 Report Share Posted August 1, 2017 Is it possible to install the door spring, shown in the photo, without taking off the door/hinge? 610 door spring by Donald Broz, on Flickr Quote Link to comment
610StaWag Posted November 28, 2017 Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2017 OK folks, I will try again. I know of spring compressors being used on large USA cars and trucks, but what about a Datsun 610? Has anyone used the OEM#25336 or STECK#21910 door spring compressors? Are they small enough to use on a Datsun sedan? Which is the best? Quote Link to comment
edekalil Posted November 30, 2017 Report Share Posted November 30, 2017 It may be possible cause some on my cars have come out on there own. 1 Quote Link to comment
thisismatt Posted November 30, 2017 Report Share Posted November 30, 2017 Maybe put a couple zip ties through it and compress it in a vice/clamp/press, tighten zip ties, install and cut zip ties? 2 Quote Link to comment
610StaWag Posted November 30, 2017 Author Report Share Posted November 30, 2017 I have tried the vise/clamp/press/zip ties procedure. I actually lived, unharmed, in my three (unsuccessful) attempts to get this to work. 1 Quote Link to comment
5t341tH Posted December 2, 2017 Report Share Posted December 2, 2017 I used zipties to compress coilover springs to install. Should be no problem in a small spring like that Quote Link to comment
hang_510 Posted December 2, 2017 Report Share Posted December 2, 2017 Not that I'm aware off. Like the magic smoke, once its out, there is no going back in. I've only been able to reinstall them on the bench... Quote Link to comment
