whats up guys.. going to be changing out stock springs here shortly to some brian tooley duals. Anyone know where to rent a decent spring compressor? Don't want to buy one, don't want to pay anyone to do them for me either lol. I heard the ones you rent at autozone are crap. Where's the nice ones?

 

Auto zone one isn't too bad. I've used them before and worked ok. If I changed valve springs a lot. I'd look for something better. But it'll work for a one time deal. And its free for the most part. Pay for it up front, then when its brought back. You get a full refund. Can't complain too much

 

yea, true. i guess i could give it a whirl, i've just heard stories of those causing springs to pop out and shoot everywhere, but it's free

 

I use the cheap big L shaped compresser from advance no problems here.

 

Buying one isnt that much. I just did my springs yesterday with a $30 tool I got from Jegs.

 

i thought they were alot more expensive than that. i might have to check that out. thanks

I wish I knew this tool existed. It reviewed pretty well on amazon too. I bought this:

Tim's Valve Spring Tool Now Available - LS1TECH

I haven't tried it yet, but it seems straight forward enough. After it arrived, I think I could have built it in about 10 minutes. LOL.

 

I build one that works like this one. Never had a problem with it.
