Hi there
I am always spending far too much buggering around on my suspension with upgrades, repairs ect and always struggle removing the spring/shocks with rubbish cheapo spring compressors which what to ping off at any time leaving me with stumps!
Just wondering if anybody could suggest some good compressors that work and fit well in the T25?
Either hydraulic or normal mechanical would be OK
Any suggestions welcome
Thanks

Re: Spring Compressors
Are they needed?
I have always used them on other vehicles but in my limited experience the set up on T25 allows the spring tension to be released in a controlled fashion without compressors.

Re: Spring Compressors
I would say that they are useful up front. I have a pair of screw-type hook-on ones.
Using them is cramped, slow & awkward but better than a spring flying off and breaking your jaw or worse.

Re: Spring Compressors
Thanks guys
Yeah its the awkwardness of them that is the pain, the one I have just don't fit or allow adjustment very easily. I suppose this is part design of thhe van more thank anything.
