Front Coil Spring Removal Tool
I was hoping someone might be able to help me source the Moog coil spring removal tool or one like it? I'd prefer to rent or borrow but if I have to buy it I will. I really don't want to pay an excessive amount to have a shop do the front end rebuild.

I think Tom Chitwood rents out the correct Moog spring removal tool, or at least he used to. You can reach him at: 386-290-9882

Re: Front Coil Spring Removal Tool
Man stirring up fun memories for me, I attempted to use a OTC internal spring compressor and it broke and the spring blew out the front of the car under the bumper.. almost shattered my left hand and I didn’t even know what hit me… I then was able to get a snap on tool from a friend and it was like butter..

- The Snap on was in this style and it worked marvelously!
-
- The pin bent and cause the bottom plate holder to crack in half and shoot the spring.. DO NOT USE THIS TOOL IT WILL KILL YOU POSSIBLY!!
Re: Front Coil Spring Removal Tool
Was the OTC tool breaking a one off type of thing?
