Morning everyone, hope you're all having a relaxing/productive long weekend. Mine started off good with getting the water pump on the boat and getting it tuned up, then was going good putting the new bilsteins on the front of the 12 until I realized that the moog "heavy duty" replacement coil springs I bought are too thick with too little space between to use my coil compressor. Both old coils were broken (why I'm replacing) so cant put those back on.
Suggestions? I dont really wanna mess with a redneck solution on coil springs so I'm planning on taking to a shop to put them on tomorrow if I cant figure it out but then the wife is trapped at home all day.

Good evening Mike. Had a great weekend with the Bengstons and Minners. Hope yours was good too.
Drive home was sucky though. Traffic was terrible.

Hey Jay. It was a good weekend. Spent the weekend with friends up on the southern end of the Outer Banks.

Good morning Jay and the rest of the crew!
Weekend was pretty good weather wise. Company was great! Could have used a few more days like Sunday to call it a complete success. Although pulling a lower unit off an outboard while the boat is still in the lake is a win in my book! Thanks again Jay!

Good morning guys!
Yeah not a bad weekend but could have been better in a few instances. Haha. Like Cory said the company was great!
Speaking of that lower unit off the boat motor. Time to start making a few phone calls.

Afternoon Dave! Yeah I guess they can break once in a while. Can't complain to much considering the motor/lower unit is just shy of 30 years old.
