That looks much easier to use... looks like the spring goes on there horizontally on it's side. I'll check it out tonight.

nevermind I had to wrap my head around it for a sec.

Yeah looks uber easy. C-clamp that thing to a bench and hit it with your impact wrench. For $30 you'd save that much in gas to and from AZ.

They work pretty good. It took me a couple of times to get the spring to compress evenly but it worked.

how does it work. I see the spring goes horizontal and gets locked in with those pins. Do you screw the long huge bolt inmiddle to compress?
