Re: is it hard to lower the 406?

Took me a day to do it all on my todd. Not a particularly difficult thing to do, just be careful compressing the standard springs as they are very, very long compared to the lowering springs. when you done yours did you have to take the hub nut off and keep the disk intact with the strut? or did yo...
