I'm thinking of replacing my rear shocks soon

do i need spring compressors or any other specialist tools?

cheers

Yes you will need spring compressors as far as i am aware.

Thanks harryhill

spring compressors are a must.

Dont do what i did and attempt to use trolley jacks and pieces of wood to compress them (leaning against a wall).

It popped and a piece of wood actually WENT THROUGH my garage roof. lol still managed it though!

an impact driver helps to!!!!!! he he

i've managed to remove and refit without compressors. i wouldnt recommend it though.

it can be done without a spring compressor but it's not worth the risk, you can get vert badly injured if it goes wrong!!!! after all, a spring compressor set will only cost

Machine Mart do a good 3 piece set

or as i have done in an emergency.20 BIG TIE WRAPS will keep enough tension off to change a shocker
