Homemade Spring Compressor
Homemade Spring Compressor

Below is a pic of mine that pulls the Spring upwards into the Spring Perch. You need to use a Crow Foot and a bunch of extensions to turn the Nut as there is no room under the Hood for a combination Wrench.

You can also decompress the Spring and remove it but it is a lot of cranking.
