Anybody in Washington have a spring compressor? - mike-81-240d - 11-24-2010
I live in Kirkland but I am quite willing to drive a ways. I need to borrow a spring compressor so I can change my front spring pads. Will buy you any non alcoholic 6 pack.... (only 16 yrs old)...

You have to be careful using them! IE use safety chains and such so nothing can go flying!

i'm confused what other style you can use on a spring thats fixed in position IN the car... the only two i knew of were the kit with two or three threaded rods with the threaded hooks on each end, and a wall mounted strut spring compressor

Klann style plate compressors.

I've tried to use the crappy "other style", they don't even fit when the spring is on the car, at least on the rear ones. Plate style all the way.

RE: Anybody in Washington have a spring compressor? - Captain America - 06-22-2011

RE: Anybody in Washington have a spring compressor? - mattafact - 06-22-2011
No, I live in Redlands.
RE: Anybody in Washington have a spring compressor? - dieselboy - 06-22-2011
Yeah your car is a fine compressor. Put jack on lower ccontrol arm remove everything attached to lower control arm and let it down onto a jackstand while standing to the side and it will come right out.

I spent the afternoon replacing the bulging bypass hose between my water pump and thermostat before it strands me. The POS autozone radiator hoses weren't even close to fitting.
Now it's time for beer.
