Thanks in advance,

I took an old sparkplug, broke out the inside ceramics, brazed a fitting onto the end, attached a 6" piece of rubber hose and a valve (so I didn't have to go over to the compressor to turn the air on/off) with a hose clamp, and another fitting/hose clamp on the end of the hose to fit my airline. The hose makes it easier to thread the plug into the hole.
I made my own spring compressor from pipe, washers, 1/4" rod, and an old clevis pin/yoke. It helped that I borrowed my buddy's copy of the real MB tool.
