bp-guy Posted July 12, 2007 Posted July 12, 2007 Get the right tool for the right job as He said ^^^^^^. I have had a strut spring let go on me while changing a strut ( I was even using the strut compressor) Those things are under a huge amount of pressure and when they let go you have no warning and it could possibley be fatal... Be very careful Quote

bp-guy Posted July 12, 2007 Posted July 12, 2007 (edited) Damn now u guys are gettin me nervous on doin this You will be fine.. I should have told you we had a tool failure that caused the spring to shoot out a mach 3! it went about 10 feet up and 15 feet behind me and missed the car I was working on. We all just stood there for a few and checked to see if we all had 10 fingers still. You just don't play around with all the energy stored in the springs thats all.
