Hi,

Anyone recommend a decent, cheap, spring compressor tool? Looking to change the stock spring rather than the whole shock unit.

I just took it to a bike shop I use. They did it for a tenner which was cheaper than any of the spring compression tools I saw.

eBay £6.99 did the job for me and I changed 1 of my car springs with it

Careful how you go Mav, remember those springs are under a lot of pressure when they are compressed,

Ratchet straps, works a treat and only need less than a centimetre of compression to remove. One each side does the trick.
