Front Spring Compressor

[danielw124e200]

Hi Guys,

I'm doing a front end rebuild ie bushings and other bits and pieces on my w124 e200 each side. The springs needed replacing so I ordered new ones however I discovered that you cannot use normal compressors on them and I need a spring compressor like this:

I thought its worth asking here. Is there anyone that has one living in cambridgeshire/cambridge? If its any help I have a 30 ton press which would be available to use on future occasions (served me well for other bushings). I literally need this tool for about 30 mins to get the new springs in.

Update:

I managed to replace both springs using standard compressors but was careful, I used three compressors and they were good quality. I made sure they were as straight as possible and kept checking them. Not an easy job but doable.
