Good afternoon all, relatively new to the forum so hello all.
I have a CLK200 W209 coupe with factory lowered suspension. Due to a broken spring I've removed unit and managed to get old spring off but cannot compress the new spring enough to fit back on. I've watched some videos to see spring compressor position but still no joy. Only way i can compress enough is to clamp onto the top and bottom coils but then spring compressor plates interfere with top mount and bottom of shock. I've attached photos to show spring compressor position I've tried, can anyone offer any advice?
