About the ABN Coil Spring Compressor
Use the ABN | Coil Compressor Tool to help you install coil springs and coil spring spacers. This car spring compressor tool compresses conventional coil springs for replacement or removal from suspension.
*Instruction manual not included with package.
(Read full operation instructions below.)
HOW TO USE
STEP 1
Remove the shock absorber and other hardware as required, then with the screw shaft centered, engage the hooks on a coil toward the top of the spring.
STEP 2
With the screw shaft threads fully engaged in the compressor body, insert the fork through the lowest coil possible so it straddles the screw shaft and sits evenly on the coil. Ensure that the compressor washers sit in the recessed area of the fork, then twist the fork around the coil of the spring as necessary to adjust.
STEP 3
Compress the spring by slowly tightening the screw shaft clockwise while ensuring the hooks do not turn on the spring.
TIPS
- Do not over-compress a coil spring (the coils should never touch).
- Do not continue to compress the spring once the compressor reaches its travel limit.
