Have finally had the time to start looking at my top mounts. I ordered the Sachs mounts and got the strut bearings delievered from my local OPC.
Thought I was all ready to go, but have hit a snag.....my spring compressors wont fit the springs... Am I missing something?
Issues seem to be:
1) I have to put the first compressor on with the nut at the top, otherwise there is too much thread sticking up and it hits the inner wing
2) I can only get a compressor on one side, the other one wont fit at all
3) Struggling to get more then one coil of the spring between the jaws of the second spring compressor and then, it wont compress anyway, as the jaws are already touching each other.
Am concluding my current spring compressors won't work. What make/model of spring compressor do other people use?[/list]
