Please help, w126 spring compressor jammed inside the front spring :(
I was trying to remove the front spring on my car to change the guide rod mounts, which I have done a couple times in the past with no problems (using an ebay clone mercedes spring compressor). But, this time the lower spring plate slipped and is jammed halfway between one coil and another. I tried everything I can think of to get it out, but its still stuck. Is there a way to either unbolt or saw/torch apart the suspension with the spring uncompressed in a safe way? Or is the car going to be unrepairable. I am not very strong, but I can try other suggestions if anyone has them, but I am not sure what more I can do. I don't think there are any members here who live near me either, although if someone had time to help me that would be greatly appreciated.
