Hello everyone,
I'm trying to replace the rear pads on my sister's 99 Elantra and am running into a problem trying to get the top and bottom springs off. I'm trying with a needle nose pliers but as soon as they grip onto the spring, they slip off. I've tried to wedge a flathead screwdriver behind the spring but still can't get enough room to slip the pliers behind. Is there some special tool that I need or something that I'm missing here to get that spring out? Usually on my Hondas the spring is thick enough and there is enough room that I use a screwdriver that has a locking hook to get the spring off. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Nick
