The right spring compressor for the MBs use plates that slip between the coils and the tensioning bar inside. DO NOT use the compressors from Autozoo or McParts that fit on the outside of the spring. The front ones are the tough ones, but with the proper tool straight forward. When removing the back ones you may need to remove the brake line and push down on the subframe.
