Up at the right hand corner of this page is the Resources button. Click on that and there are; pic DIY Links.
The tool rental program will be on that page.

Rent one from here or buy the "right one" some where else.
The wrong compressor and "these springs" are really dangerous.

You can get the Mercedes spring compressor on e-bay for around $200 give or take with shipping.
Look around on Craigslist, they come up form time to time. Thats`s where I found mine. A Knann compressor sold for $100, new these sell for about $1000. X2, don`t cheapen out with aftermarket spring compressors, there is a ton of energy in the MB springs. List the area of the country where you live, maybe another member can help you out. Charlie

Use the W126 LCA bushings, in the FSM they are referred to for 15" wheels.

They are designed for the 15" wheels so I can only assume yes.

I think they're a 3 piece instead of a 2 piece, so installing may be a bit more complicated to get right. They're also the "police" spec bushing, per the FSM.
