changing a spring. is it possible without?

It's only £10 how much cheaper do you want them?!

Don't need them if fitting coilovers as can remove the shock and spring as one but will need them if replacing standard spring.

You can get the spring off without them. As your undoing the top bolt, aim the spring away from you/anything valuable and undo the bolt slowly, and hope it doesn't release to harshly. It's a highly recommended not to this tho might i add. I have done it in the past tho

I undo the nut, change the spring then put my body weight on it to compress then get anyone to quickly put the nut on with couple of turns.

Much faster and cheaper with out the tool

i don't think getting the old one off will be the problem, as the top 2 inches have broken off i assume it wont be under tension???

it's getting a new one on i'm worried about

[murraymint]

O right, well as tweed said will to it

If the top 2 inches have broken off and not under tension then you won't need the compressors. Should possible to compress manually to reassemble maybe get a mate to help.
