Re: [MBZ] Coil Spring Compressor

[Rich Thomas]

On my TD I had to ream out the hole some for the compressor shaft to fit 
in there.  It was just a tad (hair, smidgen, shade, gnat's..) too 
small.  A grinder wheel on a drill did it after a few minutes on each 
side.  YMMV.  Then go at it with your socket or air wrench.  By hand, 
you will get a good feel for the energy that gets imparted to the 
compressed spring, cause your arm will let you know.  This exercise will 
provide an indication of why you DO NOT want to do this halfassedly.

Just a question, is it possible to tighten/loosen a proper Merc spring

Yes.
