Quickest way to remove and install hood springs. 

Spring: I will never amount to anything. Lucky: I'm gonna make this guy's whole career.

That was a great tip- and I'm a qualified mechanic of 19 years. Never thought to do it that way. On ya Lucky... Cheers from Down Under

G'day from West Australia, yep an oldie but definitely a goodie. The visual and audio delivery is much better than mine though,love it😉🙂👍👍

Sweet ride. I have a 1964 4 door wagon. I put a 2004 LS1 4L60E in it for my wife😜. Get more attention than Camaros and Mustangs and very practical. Good luck with the 2 door. Erik

Damn Lucky, that one's useful. Nice work!

Tried it today worked awesome mostly with my 30 year old pulling on it have used chain in the past this is much better rubber gives you traction Thanks Lucky

Boom chacalaka!!! That was quick and to the point thanks for the tech tip homeboy

Nice tip brudda! They red van is nice too!!

Needs a 65 front clip... .. love the 2 door wagons... now throw a l76 and a 6l80 in it...

Thanks Lucky,...I have a couple springs I need to remove and this makes it look pretty simple

This thing is Rad. Great find Lucky. Cant wait to see the build on this machine. Cheers

I’ve always done it with a sturdy screwdriver, thanks for sharing this belt trick.

Hey Lucky, heard about the 6.4 quake the other day, hope all is well with you, Thoughts from NZ

Lucky thatnks for always showing us short cuts and showing bad ass cars.

Masterful demonstration. Useful Protip. Method to get them annoying garter straps off too.

Lucky goes beast mode on some punk ass springs. Your the man lucky, hope John didn’t get hit with any manhood flying off you.

Super idea.....thanks!!!

Looking forward to seeing more of this project!

love the shit that happens at Lucky’s garage ,looking forward to this build 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦

Nice. This should also work for the annoying brake pedal springs used on older trucks. 👍

Thanks for the Video. That was great....You made it look so easy. Great Tip.

OH YEAH, less than 5 minutes to do mine! You ROCK Lucky

genius. wish id seen this trick years ago

I used wedges instead of the washers, but I like this much more.

Thanks for the great tech tip!!

My 56 plymouth hood springs are vertical, and between the hinge bars (one bar outside, one bar inside. Recommendations?

I also have used the male end of a seatbelt, works the same

Love the "new" wagon

why didnt I ever think of that?! good one!

Ok, here's one for a tech tip. How do you remove a spring from a door hinge. I'm thinking specifically of a 65 mustang, but many are the same.

That is Jam up and Jelly tight! To borrow a phrase from my 8 year old...

That’s a good one. Thanks Lucky

Thanks, a lot less chance of chipping up the paint that way.

What, no zip tie tips?

That is a good tip. I'd probably end up punching myself in the teeth with channel locks. But now I know better.

Now that's cool! I'll remember that.

Good stuff

Legit tech tip!

Well, that’s too easy. Thanks

That is way better than having a pair of vice-grips lamped to the spring and pulling as hard as you can while your helper hold the hood up as far as he can. The vice-grips slip off and you elbow your helper in the eye and you both fall off the car. Just sayin'...

going have try that thanks Lucky

Very impressive indeed.

Simple and works!

Cool tip, thanks.

Damn nice little trick😎👊

Great tip 👍

Hey man awesome tech tip. And thank you for not saying hack. I'm sick of the woke crap. See ya lucky !!

Great tip

Cool 😎

Too easy!!!! Badass 👍

Would be cool to get a wrecked camaro and take the full interior and drive train and install in the wagon. I'm sure some stuff will need modified but this would show everyone that they can make this work

Man bad rotator cuff I've been out of work wrenching for 3 months almost cause of that the pain from it, sucks, mine is bad enough I can't even drink a beer with my right arm anymore

It's all fun and games till someone loses an eye. Great tip . Peace

Boom shock A lakka . Great tip

Using a brake spring tool worked far easier with new springs

Kewl! Thanks Lucky!!

Lucky, go grab one of your 1in ratchet straps. Just the long side. Dont even need the ratchet. Get whatever length you want, wrap it around your hand and use the hook same way your using the belt. Little more adjustable that way.

Nice tip

Wheres the mike drop........nice Lucky more content please it is boring here at work........

Nifty !

'i think i pulled a muscle' oh please, you're tough.

Another way to do it is use a wire and vise grips instead of the v belt

Winner winner chicken dinner ! and no mangled paint !

Great tip Lucky.you are a real fart smeller....I mean smart feller.

Genius

MORE! MORE! MORE! 😉😊👍

Dang, Lucky gets all 'roided up in a hurry when he does strenuous stuff, eh? :-)

Luck Brevity, your new name. Paint the damn car!

If I woulda' known this when I was a kid...I probably would of taken every hood spring out of the local bone-yard. Just because.....

I just use two screw drivers and pray I don't stab my face. I like this way better

Ha, so funny, sometimes the simplest things escape us

Thank you American car manufacturers keep putting a cheap rods in cars 🙏

That's way easier (safer) than having the hinge on a vise...

👍👍🇨🇦

Luck, for crap sake, buys $20 mic!! Holy crap dude nobody heard a thing when you 12ft from the iPhone.
