did you go through the access holes in the cowl.....

[blindsnyper]

i would have taken the cowl off but the wipers were in the way and i didnt want to mess with them. i just held it up and had my little brother stick his small hand in there.

Yes.....you need a spring compressor TRUST ME!!!! I tried doing it without one at first.......you can borrow one for free from most Auto Parts Stores....you just have to leave a deposit, my was $40 but you get it back when you return it...
