Now there you go.
If Andrew believes he must use the tool because the manual told him to,
then he is also going to believe he must use the CORRECT TOOL!
I doubt a knockoff will be sufficient for his purpose.

It is one of the knockoffs but quite stout. I bought it from a guy
around here who had used it to put lower springs on a 560SEC. I used
it on the SD when i did the front suspension last summer. The only
problem with it is that when it bottoms out the threads did not engage
the bottom so I ended up having to go to an autoparts store to borrow
their external compressors to pull it in enough to get the bottom
plate holder engaged to the screw. I had to crank on it a bit to do
that, was a bit scary but once engaged it worked fine. I had
uncompressed the spring as much as i could after removing it, and hit
that problem. On the other side I did not uncompress it all the way,
it worked fine. Not sure why it worked that way, but there it was...

You are just making this way too easy for Andrew.
Did you folks buy the fancy, expensive, MB endorsed tool?

And, they don't seem to know where it is right now.

But TWO list memebrs already own spring compressors. For me to
purchase
one would be duplicative, or triplicative if you prefer.

I personally removed the rear springs on a 123 in order

Front's a different story!
WHAT JIM SAID!!!!!!!!!!
In fact, you have to restrict the movement of the axles when
changing the
differential so you don't have the springs falling out.

NO, NO, NO!
We need to convince Andrew that it must be done as per the manual.
Since none of us have the expensive spring compressor, he will be
required
to purchase one.
Then, being the kind hearted and generous soul that he obviously
is, he
will lend it to us whenever we need it.
