RE: [DMCForum] claw style spring compressor

["Travis Goodwin" <tgoodwin@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I don't remember who recommended this but it sounded like a great idea.
Use a jack and compress the spring. Then, take some big zip ties and
wrap them around the spring. I think they would need to be pretty beefy
zip ties. You should then be able to remove the spring while it is
completely compressed. Then when you reinstall it, just jack the wheel
back up, reattach and cut the ties.

Subject: [DMCForum] claw style spring compressor

 At the open house in Hpuston Don Steger explained to me how to 
replace the coil spring. He told me the best compressor to use is a 
claw type, as shown in the new Deloreans magazine. Where in the heck 
do you get these? 

I finally got time to finish up my car but I need just a hair more to 
clear the tower or I could use a nother two hands but my two year old 
nephew dosn't quite have what it takes. I also asked Don how long it 
should take and he told me about three hours. It's taken me three 
months,Dang!
