How should Coil Springs in the rear suspension be disconnected and reconnected on 1988 Mazda RX-7?

In order to prevent unwarranted tension on the rear suspension parts when loosened, a hammer and drift are used on the connecting bolts. Install all the nuts and bolts temporarily, and hold the vehicle and rear axle up. Take out the springs of the coils, inspecting them, and changing when needed. Install parts without tightening then drop vehicle to settle and tighten to specs.
