Post subject:  Hi Low install help
I've been outside sctratchin my head for a while, perhaps you clever folk can help. :D

My subframe parts are going together and I'm trying to my hi-lows in.
I've put in a new (old) rubber cone to replace the old (older, crapper, flatter) cone,
and want to know how to get it all together? Do I need a cone compressor?
I've also greased up the knuckle joint and put the rubber seal thingy on the plastic cup,
so a way of assembly allowing me not to pull them apart again would be great!

Thanks.

we talking front or rear?

I haven't fitted hilos yet but will be in the next month or so, from what I understand you adjust the hilo so it's retracted enough to just slip in and then start adjusting them out till they reach the desired height?

I'm doing the front.

What you mentioned would work if I used the sagged cones that came out,
but with newer cones in there's little room to work with.

Can a bolt with washers sustitute for a cone compressor?
(subframe isn't in car)

Yeah if you can get it tight enough. If it's close enough to fit you could try gently tapping it in.

i just did mine yesterday with new cones/hi-los/knuckles/cups and a cone compressor. i can tell you i needed an extention bar to get enough leverage to compress the cones - and that was with the hi-los fully screwed in (at the lowest setting). ill adjust them after the engine is on and they have settled

give the bolt a go as if your putting in old ones it might not be as hard to compress

I'm guessing that how to doesn't work if you're trying to do it subs in the car still? :).

Still would work, you just use a bolt 8 inches long instead of 4.
