A coil spring compressor is a piece of repair machinery typically used in car repairs. They help to depress the coil spring in order to remove or replace it.
I would not use this on a Heavy duty type of spring. This has a tendency to slip off the spring and does not have a long range of travel.
**** BE CAREFUL DOING THIS YOURSELF ***** **** DO NOT ATTEMPT WITHOUT A COIL SPRINNG COMPRESSOR **** You DO NOT want to see what happens when you pry the coil spring out of there with a crow bar. Like those teeth and that pretty face? Dont do it.... The coil spring may decompress spring out and hit you in the head. It would not be pretty. Please take it to a shop and have them do it or worst ccase, buy the Ford spring compressor. It WILL be much cheaper than the medical bills or funeral expenses.

Yes, you need to use a spring compressor to safely replace the front struts on a 2002 Chevy Tracker. The strut assembly includes a coil spring that is under significant tension, and using a spring compressor ensures that the spring is safely compressed while you remove and install the strut. Attempting to replace the struts without a compressor can be dangerous, as the spring can release suddenly and cause injury.
It is not recommended to mix a 2 ton coil with a 2.5 ton compressor as it may lead to inefficiencies and potential system failures. It is best to match the coil and compressor sizes to ensure optimal performance and efficiency of the HVAC system.

To change a rear coil spring on a Vectra C, first ensure the vehicle is securely lifted and supported on jack stands. Remove the rear wheel and then detach the shock absorber and any necessary suspension components to access the spring. Use a spring compressor to safely compress the coil spring before removing it from the spring seat. Install the new spring by reversing the process, ensuring everything is securely reattached before lowering the vehicle.
To stretch a coil spring effectively and safely, follow these steps: Use a spring compressor tool to safely compress the spring before stretching it. Slowly and evenly apply pressure to the spring to stretch it to the desired length. Make sure to wear safety goggles and gloves to protect yourself from any potential accidents. Check the spring for any signs of damage or wear before and after stretching. Always follow the manufacturer's guidelines for stretching the specific type of coil spring you are working with.
