Shock spring compressor.

[fzar]

Anyone have recommendations for a shock spring compressor to buy. I went to Auto-zone, O' Reillys, Harbor freight with the shock, spring mounted in 1 hand and the replacement spring in the other and none of the tools they have will fit. The grabber ends won't fit inside the coil of the springs, either one. There's this version:

Thanks.

Could always make one easily, here’s one I made for myself out of steel plate and threaded rod.

I have the RaceTech tool and it is rated for 500lb. springs. Our springs are around 600lbs. so I had to go to a bike shop to get the OEM spring removed. There are posts about another puller on the site-one of which is mine- that illustrate a cheaper puller which worked on the stock spring for some members.
