THE ONLY WAY you can get them off is with a VERY expensive ( special ) spring compressor.
Pay somebody, that has the correct tool, to do it for you.

Correct.
I'm just trying to " scare " him into the right thing.

yeah and make sure you take it to a reputable place to get it done if you decide to get it installed professionally. otherwise, you'll end up with a loose control arm and mis-seated spring like me !

i think oriely or autozone (donno if yall have them in Can), but they have them as a rental tool. get the one that screws from the middle/inside of the spring, not the 2 seperate pieces that are for macphersons. u might have to check a few stores cuz when i went, they were out. i think they said they had them for 25 or something as a buy price.

Call these guys.
They are in Vancouver.
If they don't do the work themselves, they can probably recommend somebody to you.
