Default Help Installing Teraflex Retainer Kit for rear!

Does anyone know or have any idea how to put these on?
http://www.teraflex.biz/products/ret...004954300.html

They didn't come with any instructions. I know the large washer sits on the rear spring perch, but I cant seem to figure out how the nut gets attached from the bottom of the perch? Do I have to remove my rear springs and shocks to install them?

There is a special tool included in the kit...If you look towards the front of your rear axle on the spring perch, there is enough room to insert the tool in that hole. The tool will hold the nut in place while you start screwing the bolt through...

If you look at the instructions for the 2.5" coil kit, there is a diagram that shows the orientation of the special tool...See Page 2....

Nope your springs actually have to be installed because the large washer will be bolted to it, which in turn holds the bottom spring in place...
