CAUTION
The coil spring compression tools most commonly advertised are DANGEROUS. I recently purchased on of these from NPD and almost broke my hand. They have a tendency to 'spring loose', and if your hand is close by (as mine was) it can really HURT you.
Years ago, I had used a coil spring tool from my dad's garage made by MOOG that worked great (and safely). This week I was fortunate to find the same tool on E-bay, which I bid on & bought tonite.
If you are ever in a position that requires the removal/installation of the front coil springs - be very careful. I'd be glad to loan this tool to anyone in need of it.
