WARNING!
Measure the outer diameter of the spring to be compressed and select the correct set of yokes.
IMPORTANT! Do not start by using the coil spring compressor fully extended, but adjusted to a length of
approx. 200mm. This will ensure adequate travel to fully expand and compress the spring regardless of the
initial spring tension.
Ensure that the coil spring to be compressed is free from dirt and grease where the yokes will be in contact with it.
4.1.
Jack up the vehicle to remove the coil spring. Ensure that the vehicle is safely and properly supported.
4.1.1. Insert the yoke (Fig.1-2 or 4) into the lower spring windings.
4.1.2. Insert yoke (Fig.1-1 or 3) into the upper spring windings. Ensure that the spring windings sit between the inner and outer
rims of the yoke.
4.1.3. Insert the main body of the spring compressor into the inside of the spring from below with the hexagonal drive nut
facing downwards (Fig.2). Guide compressor through the lower yoke and up into the upper yoke, when the compressor
has passed through the upper yoke turn the body through approx 50° so it locates in the locking grooves on the yoke
(Fig.3).
4.1.4. Fit the 23 to 19mm Drive Extension to the hexagonal drive nut and begin to turn the hexagonal drive nut with the 19mm
Combination Ratchet Spanner, until the yokes are firmly in contact with the spring. Before proceeding ensure that the
spring is correctly placed within both yokes and yokes are correctly aligned on the compressor body. Insert the 8mm
T-Handle Hex Key into the lower end of the Force Screw, to hold the Force Screw stationary whilst the Drive Extension is
being turned (Fig.4).
4.1.5. Now continue to compress the spring.
WARNING! An air wrench must not be used. Use of air wrench will invalidate warranty.
WARNING! Spring compression MUST CEASE BEFORE the windings touch. DO NOT allow the compressor
to reach the limit of its travel in either direction.
4.1.6. Remove the spring and compressor assembly from the vehicle as soon as you have attained sufficient compression.
4.1.7. With the spring adequately supported drive the compressor in the opposite direction and remove the compressor and
yokes from the spring.
4.1.8. To re-mount the spring back in the wishbone assembly, reverse the compress procedure.
