I just used one to remove the front springs on my 99 E300. The local Harbor Freight had it on sale for $56.
It took a little wiggling to get it in place, but it handled the job quite well. However, Harbor Freight no longer lists it on their website, so there may have been too many "incidents". Or they sold out. -Dave Walton On 9/26/07, Rusty Cullens <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > No. > > Rusty Cullens > BuyMBparts, Inc. > Tel 1-800-741-5252 > Fax 770-454-9745 > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "dave walton" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: "Mercedes Discussion List" <[email protected]> > Sent: Wednesday, September 26, 2007 1:15 PM > Subject: Re: [MBZ] 126 chassis front spring removal .. > > > > Would something like this work? > > > > http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Troy-1-Ton-Hydraulic-Coil-Strut-Spring-Compressor-Kit_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ35625QQihZ003QQitemZ130155502475QQrdZ1QQsspagenameZWDVW > > > > -Dave Walton > > > > > > On 9/26/07, Mitch Haley <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > >> > >> > >> Rusty Cullens wrote: > >> > > >> > You know that we rent the Klann spring compressor for $75.00? > >> > >> > >> I would not consider fabricating this one. > >> Klann is the factory tool.
