Distribute the spring compressors evenly around the spring. Fit the spring compressors as close as possible to the top and bottom coils of the spring. Make sure that the safety jaw of each spring compressor is correctly closed around the spring coil. 2. Using a 24mm wrench or socket wrench, tighten all three spring compressors to remove any slack from each side until they are gripping the spring securely and evenly. A small amount of lubricant on the screw threads will assist free movement during use and protect the threads from wear. DANGER: COIL SPRINGS ARE UNDER TREMENDOUS PRESSURE! SUDDEN RELEASE CAN RESULT IN INJURY OR DEATH! DANGER: INJURY HAZARD! CONSULT AN AUTHORISED MANUFACTURER’S SERVICE MANUAL OR REFERENCE MATERIAL ON THE PARTICULAR VEHICLE UNDER REPAIR FOR THE PROPER PROCEDURES BEFORE USE.

Tighten the spring compressor to compress the spring using equal pressure from each clamp, ensuring that the spring remains straight. If the spring starts to bend to one side, correct this by tightening the slackest side. 4. When the spring has been sufficiently compressed to be released from the vehicle suspension components, lift the spring and compressor set carefully away. 5. If the spring is part of a suspension strut assembly, the top swivel can now be disassembled from the strut while the spring remains compressed. Thereafter, the spring can be lifted away complete with the compressor tool. 6. To release the spring from the spring compressor, carefully slacken each side of the tool a couple of turns at a time, ensuring that the spring remains straight at all times. 7. When the spring is fully relaxed, di sconnect the spring compressor set and remove. WARNING: DO NOT TIGHTEN ANY OF THE SPRING COMPRESSORS MORE THAN 2 TURNS AT A TIME TO AVOID UNEVEN TENSION IN THE SPRING, RESULTING IN SUDDEN AND VIOLENT RELEASE. CAUTION: DO NOT USE AN IMPACT OR OTHER POWERED DRIVER. USE ONLY A HAND-POWERED RATCHET OR WRENCH TO OPERATE. WARNING: DO NOT SLACKEN ANY OF THE SPRING COMPRESSORS MORE THAN 2 TURNS AT A TIME TO AVOID UNEVEN TENSION IN THE SPRING, RESULTING IN SUDDEN AND VIOLENT RELEASE.
