  Installing front disc brakes and after market shocks to my Deluxe Convertible - any tricks for compressing the springs to reattach the shackles? Pictures are of the attached shackle studs and bars and the one that is currently detached. Thanks

  Yep, a sturdy spring spreader. Some guys use a Porta Power.

  A word of caution here...if you've never done this type of installation before, try to get the assistance of someone with the right experience and the right equipment. Done wrong, this process can go very wrong and cause SERIOUS INJURY - OR WORSE!
