Re: [DMCForum] Re: Spring stuck (Dave S)

Almost every mechanic you talk to will have a story of near misses 
related to spring compressors. Andy (our mechanic) saw a shock absorber 
launched from the floor of a 15' workshop, make a hole in the roof and 
never to be found again. it missed a guy's head by 1/2" on the way.

Treat them with RESPECT and advising someone to shake the crap out of a 
compressed spring is just plain stupid. Trying to argue your way out of 
it makes you look even more like an idiot.
