Does anyone have the OE MB spring compressor for 107's?

The entire part number is 107 589 03 31 00. This is for the spring compressor that goes through the bottom of the lower control arm and pulls the spring down. I need to reinstall the old spring pads into my 115 due to excessive height on the front end. This has caused an alignment issue where the castor adjustment is maxed out and the camber cannot be set properly. It has some positive camber making the car handle poorly. I just rebuilt the entire front end, replaced rubber bushings the rear, and am very anxious to have the car running properly!!

A Klann compressor fits through the top of the spring dome, neccesitating removal of the lower control arms, inother words a PITA.

If anyone has access to the old type, can a rental agreement be worked out?

Thanks very much

P.S. I've contacted the dealer and asked them about this, but I imagine they couldn't even conceive that I would even dare utter words to them about such an old car!

For the rear of my 107 I used standard internal spring compressors to replace springs. A bit of a pain but they worked. Autozone "loans" these out as well.
