When I changed my
front springs, my own spring compressor would not install my new springs.
Went to a springshop & had them banded.
They must have installed about 10 bands on each spring.
Installed the springs, raised the controlarm, and cut 1 band at a time, to release the new spring.
Worked like a charm.
Just be careful.
Btw. on my
rear springs I did not need a compressor at all.
