Coil Spring Compressor
Does anyone have the proper tool for removal of the front springs on a 560sl? I know that some believe that you can use an Autozone tool or you don't even need a tool, but I'd rather play it safe. I'd like to rent it from someone since I only plan on doing my control arm bushings once and don't want to spend $600 on a tool.
TIA, Steve

In most MBs there isn't room to compress the springs by gripping the coils from outside. You need the less common spring tool that is comprised of two plates and a lead screw that pulls the plates together.
