Strut Coil spring compressor

[Dana Pants]

These work for the front struts, and I haven't yet feared for my life:

Amazon.com: OEMTOOLS 27036 MacPherson 10.75 Inch Strut Spring Compressor, Set of 2 Universal Spring Compressor Tools, 9.75 Inch Maximum Safe Opening : Automotive

The spring perch is bigger than anticipated on the mustang, so all tools like that are going to be a bit annoying until you go a tool like this or bigger: Amazon.com: OTC Clamshell Strut Spring Compressor - 6494 : Automotive

Ive been using the ones from HF for a while now. Had one spring pop off but that was due to my error. Did my last mustang 3 times, lent them out to my fren that always talks about how much $ he rolls in but somehow cant buy his own, twice, & just did my Steeda's on them again. A lot of use out of them, so they paid themselves off already. Just had to use one upside down with a wratchet wrench this time due to the size of the perch as stated above.

Renting the free Autozone 1pc unit was almost laughable at how fast and safe the process went. I have 2 other pairs of compressors like previously pictured in this thread, and this 1pc unit blows them away. So easy, incredibly safe. Worth a drive to Autozone. I debated on keeping it for the $200 deposit but didn’t want to be a jerk lol.
