    I install them using the weight of the suspension to help push it in and hold it in position and you should do the install at the same time you are installing the spring.

    Use some silicone spray and a plastic tool to get the locating button to fully seat.

    AND BE CAREFUL!!

    I strongly suggest you NEVER do dangerous work on a car without someone else being at least within earshot in case you get into trouble.
