Be sure to grease the threads of the spring compressor each time you use it. Grease will make compressing the spring much easier and keep the compressor in good working order. Get the sawzall out if the bolts give a problem coming out. Don't waste time trying to save the bolts if stuck. Use anti-sieze on reinstallation.
