The sway bar serves to keep the weight of the vehicle from shifting too much during cornering. It is attached to the lower control arm with bolts that will need to be removed. If the bolts are stuck, try using WD-40 and letting it set before trying to turn them. Once you have removed the bolts, move the sway bar away from the lower control arm. There is no need to take it all the way off of the vehicle. Shock absorbers are often run through the center of the spring and will need to be removed to remove the spring. Remove the upper and lower mountings that connect the shock absorber to the A-arms. Pull it out through the lower A-arm. It is made to go inside the coils and hook onto the spring. Once it is hooked, you tighten the bolt on the spring compressor and it slowly compresses the spring and holds it. Once you have compressed the spring, you will need to check the top and bottom A-arms for any connecting bolts. If any are found, remove them. Use a ball joint separator to break the connection. Now that the components are all loose, slowly release the spring. Loosen the bolt on the spring compressor slowly. This will allow the spring to expand to its normal size and you can remove it from the vehicle. Take it out through the bottom instead of trying to pull it out through the top. Remove any accessories such as insulators that are attached to the spring.

SUMMARY: Place the jack underneath the lower control arm. Disconnect the sway bar. Remove the shock absorber. Use the spring compressor to compress the spring. Unbolt the coil spring. Separate the ball joint from the lower A-arm. Take out the spring. Take everything off of the spring.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: If you are using a letterhead you don't need to put the sender's address. Instead, begin the letter with the date in the top left corner. Do not leave a blank line between the sender's address and date. One line is two hard returns on a keyboard. ) This lets the recipient know what the letter will be about. This is where you discuss your subject. Be concise but thorough in your discussion of the subject. Do not any closing remarks such as 'sincerely'. Below your name, leave room for your signature. Below your signature, write your job title. Enclosures are extra materials sent along with the letter. Write the word 'Enclosure' and then list the names of the enclosed materials. Make sure all names and addresses are spelled correctly.

SUMMARY: Write the sender's address in the top left corner. Place the date directly below the sender's address. Write the recipient's address one line below the date. Write the subject of the letter in all caps one full line below the date (two hard returns. Write your body paragraphs. Write your name below the body of the letter. Add any enclosures. Proofread your letter for spelling or grammar errors.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Slap shots are used primarily by defensive players when in position near the point (the spot where the blue line intersects the boards on the defensive side of the rink). Although slap shots are flashy and can impress a crowd, they're not used very often during a hockey game. The vast majority of the time, something simpler will work better. That said, any time you can use a slap shot to your advantage in a hockey game, take the shot! At this point, the puck should be about 3 feet (0.9m) in front of your skates. Do not point your skates at your target (i.e. the net); this is a common mistake made by beginners. Stand perpendicular to the net, so that your shoulders are pointing towards it. Once you're feeling more comfortable performing slap shots, you can take a shot with your feet a little crooked. This stance can be useful if you're short on time during a play, or cannot position yourself correctly for the shot. If you're right-handed, place your left hand at the top of your stick. Place your right hand lower than where you would normally carry it when stick-handling or skating: so, about shoulder-width apart. As the stick reaches its highest point during the slap shot, your hands will separate a little more and move down the shaft. Then, as you finish the shot, your hands should end up back at shoulder-length apart. A majority of left handed hockey players shoot on the left making these instructions completely backwards. Your right hand would be on the top of the stick because you would use your dominant hand for best control.

SUMMARY: Decide when to take a slap shot. Point your feet towards the puck. Locate your hands shoulder-width apart on the stick.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Depending on the symptoms, the doctor may need to run a few non-invasive imaging tests on the injured foot. The most common tests are x-rays, CT (Computerized Tomography) scans, and MRIs (Magnetic Resonance Imaging). These techniques allow the doctor to examine the foot for broken bones and monitor the bones as they heal. In many cases, surgery is not necessary for proper treatment of a broken foot. Often the hospital will put the foot in a hard cast and/or provide crutches to keep the weight off the foot. The doctor will likely advise you to keep the foot elevated and ice the injury to prevent swelling and re-injury. When using crutches, put your weight on your arms and hands. Do not put all your weight on your armpits, which could hurt the nerves that are in your underarms. Follow your doctor's orders! Failure to comply with keeping your weight off the foot is the number one cause of delayed healing and re-injury for fractures. You may be advised to take over-the-counter NSAIDs (Nonsteroidal Anti-Inflamatory Drugs) such as aspirin, ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin) or naproxen (Aleve). These will help reduce the pain and swelling associated with the healing process. If you are scheduled to undergo surgery you may need to stop taking medication a week before the surgery takes place. Consult with your doctor or surgeon. Take the smallest dose possible to manage your pain. Stop taking NSAIDs after 10 days to avoid complications. Your doctor may also recommend upping your consumption of calcium and vitamin D, which are both crucial for bone health. For most foot injuries, your doctor will try to give your foot time to heal itself by putting on a cast and limiting your activity. In some cases, though, your injured foot may need a manipulation (known as an ORIF, or open reduction internal fixation) if the broken ends of the bone are misaligned. This involves the movement of the bone into the proper alignment, after which pins are passed through the skin to hold the bone in place while it heals. The healing process for a reduction takes an average of 6 weeks, after which the pins are easily removed. In more severe cases you may need surgery to implant screws or rods to keep the foot in position while it heals. Even if your injury doesn't require surgery, an orthopedic doctor or podiatric surgeon will be able to monitor the healing process. In the event of re-injury or other impairments to the healing process, the doctor will prescribe the appropriate treatment, therapy, or surgery.

SUMMARY:
Trust your doctor's diagnosis. Follow your doctor's advice for follow-up treatment. Take any medication as prescribed. Undergo surgery, if recommended by your doctor. Follow up with an orthopedic doctor or podiatric surgeon.
