Strut Spring Compression tool

dnme · 2011-01-05 14:05:11

Is anyone here from Sligo and could either sell me or loan me a spring compression tool for changing shocks? I bought a cpl of shocks this am but dealers asking 50 quid for the tool. Just not worth it for a rare job.

LASER tools do one that normally retails for €20
Halfords used to do them, they don't do them in my local one anymore, but try in sligo.

You'll also need a breaker bar for undoing the tougher bolts.
