Yeah, AZ rents them. When I did my 08, we wrestled with it......then my bud's grandpa came out (we were working at his grandpa's shop) - he shook his head, walked over and grabbed the spring compressor and tossed it to me. "Hey idiots, use this and you'll be done without having to fight it."

 

[nim81]

This is not an easy job......90% get it done in a shop, only the brave attempt it in a driveway.
