Anybody know a quick, easy or maybe even safe way to get these things off?

I made a tool kinda like the one Porsche uses. I used an old floor jack handle, drilled a hole about 6 inches from the end that inserts into the jack, bolted an "eye" bolt and hooked about a 6 inch length of chain to the "eye" bolt. Hook the chain to the spring put the end of the jack handle in the top of the shock tower and pull. Not a very good description I know but my son hasn't shown me how to put pics on line yet!
Cheers, Elliot |
