We carry them for the Tahoe, but we currently do not have them available for your Sonoma. You could try your local dealership. Hope this helps you out.

Doing this in a few hours when the sun comes up, looks pretty easy.

@anderberger Good Luck! Please visit 1A Auto dot com next time you need parts for your Chevy or GMC Truck, SUV or any other car or truck.

Could you just hit the wire ties with a torch to melt/release them?

[1aauto]

@markeyjames22 Yes you could do that if you are experienced in handling a torch.

I also use the wire tie method to compress the springs but instead of cutting them, I use a long piece of wire and heat the tip red hot and touch it to the wire ties. It only saves a minute, but anytime I don't have to handle razors is a good time when working on a car! LOL Thanks for your vids, they are great!

@donjonsone1 Be careful handling the razor knife and be careful with red hot wire as well.

Have you tried using a drum brake spring compressor tool? They seem like the perfect tool for that job.
