LG Motorsports LG C5 GT2 Coil Overs - Manual (Page 3)

Start by removing the factory tie rod end links from the steering knuckle, or
upright. These can typically be removed by tapping on the face of the upright, but may
need a pickle fork to separate.
Figures 2a and 2b (Removal of tie rod end):
Once the tie rod ends are removed from both sides we must now separate the
upright from the lower control arm to remove the factory leaf spring. This is done by
first loosening the 22mm nut at the lower control arm first, but do not remove it
completely. You will see two flat spots on the upright, tap these with a hammer to loosen
the taper at the pin and you should see the lower control arm separate from the upright. If
it does not, again a pickle fork may be needed. Remove the end link at the sway bar to
the control arm and pull free. At this point, remove the bolts holding the lower mount to
the control arm so that the arm can be pulled down free from the spring.
Figure 3a and 3b (removal of lower control arm nut)
You will only be removing one lower control arm and upright, one on the front and one
on the rear. You may now also remove the shock from the passenger side of the car.
Make sure that all rubber shock mounts have been removed from the chassis side of the
car as well at this time, these will not be needed.
