Title: Wanted to borrow? Spring compressor for 105 front end
Post by: Evan Bottcher on December 30, 2010, 05:51:04 PM
Does anyone in Melbourne have a spring compressor suitable for the front end of the 105 that I could borrow in the next couple of weeks? 

If not I'll get some threaded rods and lower the pan that way (method described here (http://www.alfabb.com/bb/forums/gt-1965-1974/148793-front-spring-removal.html)), but sounds like it'll be heaps easier with the right tool!

Email, PM, or 0400 013 175 - would be much appreciated!

If you're sitting on the edge of your seat, I couldn't get a factory tool, so I pulled one spring out tonight using the 'threaded rods' technique.  Painful, but it worked.  Photos here (http://www.alfaclubvic.org.au/forum/index.php?topic=363.msg35715#msg35715).
