Installing Sprint Springs

Ok I was installing some sprint springs, when I removed my coilovers. The problem I am having is that the damn front passenger strut/sprint, wont allow me to slide it back on the shock tower. That was the first wheel I started working on, and I didnt get any further. So i paused , then moved to removing the rear coilovers,and installed the rear springs. Am I missing something in installing these (front) springs. Please assist me?I do have the spring compressors, but those are hard to use in the area???

BTW, check out my f/s items in the 4th gen forum.

Damn, no one here replied to me to voice an opinion, well, none the less I fixed my own problem. What happened was the other (driver's side) wheel was still on the ground, so I guess through the sway bar, the passenger side control arm was being 'torque'd' up, not going down enough to slide the shock onto the knuckle. In the future if you are doing any suspension on your front on, just make sure that both wheels are off of the ground!
