Re: internal coil spring compressor

got that tool so go under car and slide it thur the arm hole and attach to the coil top and bottom coil sounds very tight ,can you remove the lower hook and make a flat piece of thick iron and place on outer a arm hole and compress that so the spring is compressed with the a arm together when installing ?

Re: internal coil spring compressor

Yes you can do it that way. Also check out this link for Muscle Car TV episode. That spring compressor can be bought at
AutoZone for $33.00.
