ABN | Coil Spring Compressor Tool Coil Spring Compression Tool Coil Compressor

44.99

To use the ABN | Coil Spring Compressor Kit, first, remove the shock absorber and other hardware as required. With the screw shaft centered, engage the hooks on a coil toward the top of the spring. With the screw shaft threads fully engaged in the compressor body, insert the fork through the lowest coil possible so it straddles the screw shaft and that it sits evenly on the coil. Ensure that the compressor washers sit in the recessed area of the fork. Twist the fork around the coil of the spring as necessary to adjust. Compress the spring by slowly tightening the screw shaft clockwise while ensuring the hooks do not turn on the spring. Do not over-compress a coil spring (the coils should never touch), and do not continue to compress the spring once the compressor reaches its travel limit. Warning: This product contains chemicals known to the state of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm.
