Spring Compressor

i'm sure this has been discussed before but i did a search on 'spring compressor' and didn't find much, can the springs on a C43 be compressed with a conventional spring compressor or can they only be removed with an MB sring compressor?

You may be able to rent them from a local auto parts store.

Good luck!

C43 springs cannot be compressed with a conventional spring compressor. The unique center shaft compressor Chappy posted is the best method.
Klann tools, and SirTools both offer them

The job is much easier if you use the proper spring compressor
