Damnit, wish I'd seen this earlier.
Anyone with coilovers or struts that need disassembly/rebuild, hit me up. I have a real spring compressor sitting in my basement, NO2 setup, gauge, coilover shaft clamp, etc.

1) Remove front strut assembly 2) Disassemble with borrowed coil compressor 3) Attempt to reassemble with said tool 4) Fail miserably and repeatedly 5) Mourn an out of commission X until I can get the random assortment of parts to an actual mechanic for reassembly 6) Lose money Stay tuned for next week's episode: How to drop a bumper and winch assembly on your head. |

In the past I have ‘rented’ 2 sets of screw and hook type coil compressors from Advance Auto. I generally only can get 3 out of the 4 on a stock coil, but every little bit counts. Messing with the coil springs is scary business. Be careful! |

I decided I'd rather be poor than dead. Local shop is reassembling. Sent from my Pixel 4 XL using Tapatalk |

Fine choice. I would have no regrets in the same position. |
