Spring Compressor

Does anyone have a MB spring compressor for the front springs they are willing to loan or rent. A new one costs $330. Can't find one in my area to rent. TIA, dlb

Typically you would give me a deposit and I'll mail mine the compressor out. Once I get it back, I'll refund your deposit less $35 to cover my handling and shipping.

99CLK320,
from what vipclk320 was telling me on another thread, if you jack up the car, release the shock then slowly lower the control arm you can remove the spring without a compressor.
