Spring compressors

[wiggy]

Ok have waded through searches on rear spring removal and re-fitting with +2" springs and am pretty much happy with what i need to do and going to try and get a hold of some spring compressors to make my life a bit easier with this job but..............daft question time.....most folk have said to use a pair... does that mean 2 compressors on the spring (doing one at a time)? (ps never used them before)

As always thanks in advance!

You use a pair 180 deg apart and tighten each a little at a time. Try to get the ones with the angled hook that fits around the spring coil. They work better than the type with a straight hook. The straight hook tends to want to rotate around the coil because the rod part ends up on an angle.

Thanks for clearing that up Nev,
Thought something like these would do the job?

Yep, that's the ones to use.
